Retired U.S. Air Force Sr. Master Sgt. John Llewellyn Lewis Moore Sr., 76, of Hampton, was born on Aug. 21, 1943, in Ashland, West Virginia, and passed away Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019.
John joined the U.S. Air Force in 1961 and served 24 years. After retiring from the U.S. Air Force, he worked for the federal government as an IRS officer. John was a family man. His wife, children and grandchildren were his life. His nieces and nephews could always count on him. He was a man of true integrity and was always supportive and there whenever needed. When given the opportunity to advance in his military career, he chose his family above everything; and for that, we are truly grateful.
He was preceded in passing by his parents, James and Edmonia Moore; son, Bobby Stewart; and siblings, Joseph Moore, James Moore, Franklin Moore and Henry Moore.
John is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Peggy Moore; children, Carolyn Wilson (Tony), Charlisa Dees (Tony), John Jr., Robin Ransaw (Darrin), Sandra Moore, Terry Moore and Jerry Moore; and many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held at noon, Friday, Dec. 20, at Church of Jesus, 630 Anderson Lane, Hampton, with visitation one hour prior to services at the church. Interment will follow in Albert G. Horton Jr. Memorial Veterans Cemetery with full Military Honors.
