Robert David Moore
May 10, 1936 — September 24, 2016
Robert David Moore passed away at home September 24th. He was born May 10, 1936, in Sturgeon Bay to Edward and Iva (Claflin) Moore. Bob graduated from Sevastopol High School in 1954. He married Barbara Holmes Sept. 22, 1956, and they recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.
Bob spent his career in transportation, starting in Iron Mountain, MI. When the company merged with one in Green Bay, forming Wisconsin Michigan Coaches, he became the Traffic Manager and eventually a partner in the company. It was through the affiliation with the bus company that Moore Fun Tours was formed.
Bob was an Army veteran and a member of the Amvets. He enjoyed living on the bay, feeding the birds and squirrels, and cooking. Bob loved family gatherings and was appointed chef at all the family functions.
He was proud of his Irish heritage as a descendant of Increase Claflin, the first white settler in Door County. Bob enjoyed a visit to Ireland with his mother and sister.
He is survived by his wife Barbara; children, Robert (Karin) Moore, Craig Moore (friend Kim Dunn), Marjorie Witynski, and Melanie (Steve) Yelmene; eight grandchildren, Jessica (Craig) Tlusty, Ryan Moore, Matthew Moore, Buddy Giguere, Kyle Yelmene, Sara (Connor) Verri, John Witynski, Ian Mc Donald; great grandchildren, Benjamin Moore and Lydia Tlusty.
