He was a great Dallas Cowboys fan & loved to watch almost any team play football on TV. As long as he was able, he attended football and baseball games of his step grandsons, even if he had to watch the game from the car up on the hill.
Mr. Moore had prepared all his life for his home going after this earthly life.
