Mr.Moore was a fine teacher never trying to impose,but patiently teaching taking time to personally show you what you didn't understand. His was one of the few classes I can truly say I looked forward to every day.A relaxed atmosphere where after the days lesson we were allowed to work independently on our drawings and to keep things light he would regale us with tales of his Turkey hunting or share a joke.My sincere condolences to his family but please know I am honored to have known this man as my teacher.

One of my favorite high school teachers and neighbors. I use to babysit for the Moore's when I was a teenager. When I was getting ready to be married, he was selling cookware, I bought a whole set. It was my actual first charge I made payments on. Wes was also a customer of ours when we started our business.
A good man with great stories and loved to make people laugh.
