He also served numerous years on the Drew County Fair Board and the Drew County School Board, which oversaw the operations of all Drew County Schools that were in operation at the time. He was also a member of the Drew County Cattlemen's Association and life long member of Mt. Tabor Methodist Church.
Mr. Moore was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Sallie Jo Roberts Moore.
He is survived by two sons, Edwin and wife Amy, of Iuka, MS, and Robert and wife Carol, of the Mt. Tabor community; one brother, Billy John Moore of the Mt.
