IN MEMORY??¦ALWAYS

Of

LOREN MOORE

? 

? 

A great loss was suffered with the death of Loren Moore.?  He was a loving and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.?  And if he was your friend, he was faithful and caring beyond description.

? 

Loren was many things:?  An outdoorsman that loved hunting and fishing, a man who adored the dogs that had shared his life, an ornery rascal that loved to tease, and he was a natural-born storyteller??¦.

? 

The day he decided to write his first story he would have been in shock knowing where that path would lead.?  He entertained and put smiles on faces around the world.

? 

I??™ll never forget the stories we co-wrote, and they will always be treasured.?  We never discussed where a story was going once one of us threw out a beginning sentence or title.?  When it was completed we would chat on the phone.?  Usually I??™d say, ???Loren, I had that story set up to go in such and such direction and you threw me a curve ball.????  Oh, how he would laugh ??“ admitting he did it on purpose to rattle me!?  He was a wonderful playmate??¦full of life with a wacky sense of humor.? 

? 

Never a quitter, he put up a courageous fight with his medical problems, and set an example we should all follow ??“ enjoy each day as if it was your last. I hope he knew how much, and how many folks loved him.?  He will live on always in his stories and in our hearts.

? 

Loren, you will be missed more than words can say.?  Farewell dear friend, till we meet again??¦at a nother place and at a nother time.?
