Glen Moore was born on Jan. 28, 1935 in Hartville, Mo. to Finis & Fannie Moore. The youngest of seven children, he was preceded in death by his siblings Howard, Earl, Elsie, Owen, Jean and Lorean. At the age of 3 months Glen’s family relocated to California during the great “Dustbowl Migration” of 1935 and settled in Monterey County.
Glen graduated from Salinas Union High School and attended Hartnell College, where he excelled in academics and baseball. He was recognized as the team’s most valuable player in 1953, and was offered a career with a professional baseball franchise.
In 1953, Glen married his high school sweetheart, Dulcie Annette Lindsley. In 1960, they moved to Southern California, where they raised their four children; Becky, Cindy (who preceded Glen in death in 1978), Colleen and Sonny.
Glen was a big fan of softball and Little League. With his wife, he co-founded a girls’ softball league in Cypress, Calif. so that his three daughters could practice their skills.
In 1999, after 25 years in the ceramic tile industry, Glen retired from his position as manager and moved to Cave Junction, where he enjoyed golfing, RV’ing and gardening. Glen shared his love of baseball with his grandchildren by coaching in I.V Little League and serving as the umpire-in-chief and as a league board member.
He was quite active in supporting the Illinois Valley Chamber of Commerce, working on and attending many chamber-hosted events.
Glen is remembered by all who knew him as a man of great character, compassion and humor; a true gentleman, a man of God, and a loving husband, father, “Papa” and friend.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Dulcie; daughter Becky, her husband Lee Denehy and their children Timothy, Brandy and Danielle; by his daughter Colleen, her husband Steve Harding and their children Joshua, Ashley, Tiffany and Jonathan; and his son Sonny, his wife Lisa and their children Glen, Cindy, Racheal and Aldon. Glen also is survived by three great-grandchildren: Nichole, Kieran, and Brian, and many nieces and nephews.
