It is one year now, and I have never missed anyone that much whom I only and exclusively knew via the net.
His family wrote this:
Donald Mathews Moore, 62, passed away June 5, 2009, in Prescott, Ariz., after being diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) a year and a half ago. He was born on Aug. 12, 1946, in Covina, Calif.
Don was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He was often referred to as a human encyclopedia because he was knowledgeable about many things.
Donald and his wife shared 40 years together before his passing.
He is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son. Another son preceded him in death.
He was blessed with eight wonderful grandchildren who will dearly miss their papa.
He is also survived by his mother and his six sisters.
