To Honor A Friend......
I was devastated to wake-up to the news that someone I admired had passed away during the night.
My “other husband” as my husband joked, and his “other wife” as his wife joked because we were on the phone so much during the times that we organized 4 MOC rallies together along with ToolManRoy (Roy & Nancy Burk) at Lake Siskiyou in Northern California.
We had so many conversations about the rallys but they also would include so much more about our lives and children. Sometimes we would call just to talk about things that had no relation to the organization of rallys.
He was a man who fiercely adored his wife, his family and the area he lived/grew up in. His parents had owned and operated the Lake Siskiyou Campground and the family lived there when he was a boy growing up.
Rest in peace, I’ll miss you Don Moore (Searchers), my friend, my buddy, my “other husband”. My heart goes out to his wife Claudia. May she find strength in that he was such a good man who was respected and admired by many.
With the permission of Claudia, it is only fitting that the name of the Rally at Lake Siskiyou be changed to the “Don Moore Memorial Rally” at Lake Siskiyou. I'm sure he will be there in spirit with us.
