IN LOVING MEMORY OF
L. Robert
Moore, Jr.
February 26, 2024
L. Robert "Bob" Moore, Jr., 86, of Downingtown, PA, formerly of Ephrata and Lititz, passed away on February 26, 2024. Born in Coatesville, PA, he was the son of the late Lewis R., Sr. and Janet (Proudfoot) Moore.
Bob attended Coatesville Area High School and Goldey-Beacom College. He had a paper route as a young man, worked a stock boy, bookkeeper, paper mill employee and 29 years of service at Pepperidge Farm, retiring in 2000 as a mixer. Bob was also a proud veteran of the US Navy and served on the USS Lake Champlain from 1955-1958 with an honorable discharge. Bob grew up attending the First Baptist Church of Coatesville, was a longtime member, usher, and communion team member at Calvary Church in Lancaster, and more recently was a member of East Brandywine Baptist Church of Downingtown.
Bob was an original organizer of the annual canoe race and children's trout rodeo in Downingtown, serving on several community service projects sponsored by the Lions, Jaycees and Optimists Clubs. Bob also enjoyed socializing, driving, fishing, sitting on the porch and enjoying nature, drinking coffee with his friends, traveling, talking about his time in the Navy and taking every opportunity to play with any cat or dog willing to engage with him.
Bob is survived by three children: Robert A. Moore (Annarose), Richard A. Moore (Cindy), and Rhonda A. Juhas; one granddaughter, Alisa Juhas; four sisters: Kay Walton, Ellen Bernard (Ronald), Nancy Coates, and Rose Borrell (William); friend Leila Murphy, and former spouse Barbara A. Harkins. He was predeceased by his sister Carol Profeto, son-in-law Frank Juhas and his second former spouse Kathy Root.
Family and friends will be received from 10-11 AM on Friday, March 8, 2024, at East Brandywine Baptist Church, 999 Horseshoe Pike, Downingtown, PA 19335. A service will begin at 11 AM. Interment will be at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, consider donations in Bob's memory to a Veterans Organization of your choice.
