Bernard Arthur Moore, Sr. 76, of 12373 County Route 79, died Thursday morning at his home. He had been in ill health for some time.
He was born on the Danley Farm in the Town of Henderson September 7, 1930, a son of Charles Perry and Emogene Margaret Phillips Moore, Jr. He graduated from Henderson Central School in 1948, went to Liverpool to continue his education in blueprint reading, design and welding.

He married Joanna Jones November 16, 1957 in the parsonage of the Belleville United Methodist Church with Rev. Miles Hutchinson officiating.

He still holds the league record for the most continuous clay pigeons broken during a league shoot. This was accomplished in 1976. He was best know for his heckling ways, chicken barbeques, delivering his garden products around the area, his honesty and hard work. He enjoyed living life, his favorite words to live by were, “work hard, play hard!”
