William "Bill" Moore, age 68, passed away on Thursday,
Sept. 11, 2014 after a gallant battle with leukemia. He
was born in St. Johnsbury Vt. on Sept. 13, 1945 to Leslie
Frederick Moore and Claire Elizabeth Horton Moore. He
attended schools in St. Johnsbury and graduated from
St. Johnsbury Academy, class of 1963. He went on to
college and graduated from Dartmouth College in
Hanover, N.H. in 1967 and later from Columbia
University in New York City, where he received his
doctoral degree. He spent a year doing graduate work in

both traveled extensively in Hawaii, France, United Kingdom, China, Cambodia
and various places around the world. One of Bill's last trips was a cruise around
South America through the Straits of Magellan. He shared many photos of his
trips with his family and friends. During his retirement he developed his
backyard into a lovely English and Japanese inspired garden with a variety of
flowers and shrubs and was in the process of updating his home with a solarium
