Louis A. Moore OGDEN - Our father, our hero, our friend, Louis Aubry Moore, 85, passed away on June 20, 2005 at the Crestwood Care Center. He was born April 19, 1920 in Kerens, Texas, the second child of Thomas Patrick Moore and Mattie Lena Bruner. He married Mildred Clyde Burns on June 5, 1943. She passed away on December 26, 1946, while he was serving his country in Germany. He married our mom, Virginia Patricia Shely on March 25, 1949 in San Antonio, Texas. From this union two children were born. She passed away on May 1, 1995. He was raised and lived his life in Kerens, Texas until he joined the Army Air Corps/United States Air Force in 1939. He served in the South Pacific and Germany during World War II, and in Japan during the Korean War. Our father was a true patriot, who loved his country without question. The family lived in several states until he decided to retire after 23 A 1/2 years in the only other state besides Texas that he loved. He and the family have resided in Utah since that time. After retirement he owned and operated Moore's Texaco Service Station in Ogden, where he met many people he considered friends. He is survived by his daughter, Patricia Moore, Willard; his son, David Moore, Ogden; and a stepson he raised, Warren Unsell, Humble Texas; his family not by birth but by love, Harold and Jane Hobster, Russ and Myrna Messerly, and Darrell and Helen Streble. He is preceded in death by his parents, both wives, his brothers Julius and Roy, and by his sister Julia Slagle. The family wishes to thank the doctors, nurses and social workers at McKay-Dee Hospital whose kindness will never be forgotten. To Odyssey Hospice, how can we ever repay all of you for allowing our father to die with the dignity he deserved. You'll always be remembered in our prayers. To the staff of Crestwood Care Center, thank you for the care and attention you gave to our father. The generosity of spirit you showed to my brother and I will remain in our hearts forever.
