THE GERALD K. MOORE FOUNDATION

ON ETERNAL PATROL

Gerald K. Moore, 1937 - 2019

Jerry loved living life rocking, in a cabin, somewhere along the Arkansas River. This spot was a refuge, every year, in the fall. Sadly, Jerry was unable to commandeer this rocking spot this year. On October 22 he took on his new assignment, "Eternal Patrol," a submariner's after-life mission.

Jerry led a life of positive impact. He had a natural ability to see and develop talent everywhere. He expressed gratitude to everyone for everything. So, a thank you to you, Jerry. "Thank you for your childlike people-loving spirit that shone through your beautiful baby blues, it's you we appreciate."
"Thank you for all you did, your inspiration and support - life gifts thoughtfully and generously shared. We love you, forever."
