Harry Lee "Pap" Moore was a welder

Harry Lee "Pap" Moore, 91, went to his Heavenly Home on February 25, 2022, following a valiant battle with a sudden and short illness. His devotion to his family and his firm belief in God supported him in his struggle and ultimately gave him peace. 

Harry was born to the late Albert and Rosha Moore in Garrett (Turkey Creek), KY, on Nov 19, 1930.  He gave his life to the LORD on September 28, 2009. He was baptized at Lima Freewill Baptist Church, where he was a member.  It brought him immense joy, playing guitar for his wife Janette and daughter Carla singing in Church.  Harry was blessed with a large and loving family. He married Janette Manuel from Langley, Kentucky on January 21, 1956.  They were blessed with 65 glorious years of marriage.   They had 4 children: Timothy (Janet) Moore, Roger (Melissa) Moore, Carla Jo (Jim) Archer and Nathan (Jennifer) Moore; 7 Grandchildren: David, Lindsey, Kyle Katherine, Allison, Connor, and Colton; and 6 Great Grandchildren: Claire, Sophia, Kaiden, Landon, Jadyn, and Lucas.   Harry is also survived by 2 Sisters, Muriel Moore Francis, and Grace Moore Combs, both of Garrett, Kentucky and 2 Brothers, John (Barb) Moore of Gallipolis, Ohio, and Lloyd Moore of Richmond, Kentucky.

Sadly, he lost both his son Timothy Lee Moore and his wife Janette Manuel Moore in the past year.  He was also preceded in death by three brothers, Arthur Harley Moore, Clarence Moore, and stillborn brother Marvin Moore, and his sister Myreda Moore Pratt Snyder.

Harry loved to play the guitar, listen to Bluegrass Gospel music, watch the Kentucky Wildcats basketball, do word search puzzles, and visit over a good cup of coffee.  He had been an avid gardener all his life, enjoying Janette’s home cooking.  He liked to travel to Floyd County, Kentucky to visit his childhood home and his family.  Harry was a very hardworking man, a skilled welder by trade.  He worked as a welder for almost 30 years at Clark equipment and retired from General Dynamics in 1995.  His great joy in retirement was his grandchildren and going to church.
