Donald J. Moore, Sr.

January 13, 2015 By Hans Funeral Home 8 Condolences

Donald
GUILDERLAND – Donald J. Moore, Sr., beloved father, grandfather and uncle died peacefully on Saturday, January 10, 2015.
Don was born in Waterford, NY on September 21, 1925 to Thomas and Mamie Moore.  He was a proud veteran of WWII, serving in the 1269th Engineer Combat Battalion. He maintained close ties with his army buddies throughout his life.
He was predeceased by his five older brothers, and Joan Schrader Moore, his high school sweetheart and wife of more than 65 years. Survived by their loving children, Donald  J. Moore, Jr. (Susan) of Glenmont, Melissa Fox (John) of Canandaigua, David Moore (Cathy) of Rock Hill, SC,  Brian Moore (Cindy) of Isle of Palms, SC, and T.R. Moore (Judy) of Cobleskill. He was the much loved grandfather to 14 grandchildren and six great grandchildren; and is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Don founded D.J. Moore Advertising in 1960 and, through his writing and creative talent, grew the company into one of the region’s most recognized and respected advertising agencies. He continued to share his skills in retirement by doing pro bono work for the Teresian House and Community Caregivers. He was on the Board of Directors of A.I.A., The Ad Club, and was a past president of the Albany Country Club. He touched all he met with his generosity, wit and charm.
A celebration of his life will be held at Hans Funeral Home from 2-3 PM on Saturday, January 24. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Don’s name to Community Caregivers or the Northeast Kidney Foundation. Burial will be at the Gerald B. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery.

    I have fond memories of visits with Uncle Don and his family. He was always kind and had a wonderful sense of humor. Though I have not seen him in recent years I am sorry he is no longer with us. I will miss his great Christmas cards, celebrating family and heirloom artifacts. To all his children and their families my deepest sympathy.

    Two days ago Don Jr. called to tell me his Dad had passed away. What a sad moment for me and I’m sure for all Don’s family and the many people whose lives he touched.

    I was a client of D.J. Moore Advertising from 1985 until 1995 when I moved from the Capital District. From our initial business relationship grew a friendship that sadly, over the years, and because of distance became a friendship expressed through annual Christmas greetings and “catch-up” correspondence. I now wish I had been more attentive.

    My most heartfelt condolences to all Don’s family. He will be dearly missed.

    So sorry for your loss. Please know that you all are in my prayers. I now you will find comfort in knowing that your dad lived a good long time, and that he is now safe in God’s memory. I look forward to seeing him and all of our loved ones in the Ressurection. (Revelation 21:3&4. Much love, Kathleen Moore Rose (Kenneth Moore’s daughter)

    I haven’t seen the Moore family for many years, but I clearly remember the warmth and kindness of both Don Sr. and Don Jr. Don Sr. accomplished a great deal in his life and remains an inspiration for many of the people whose lives he touched. I extend my condolences to the entire Moore family and will remember everyone in my prayers.

    I have only pleasant memories of my dear neighbor. He was a great person to be out shoveling with in the early morning on Hiawatha Dr. My children often used Don as a source of information.
    Rest in peace dear friend.

    Don Jr., Susan, Hannah & Dylan,
    I was saddened to hear of the loss of Don Sr. and extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family — he was a lovely man. I send along a heartfelt wish that you will find comfort in the love you shared for, and with, your dear father.

    I mourn in Don Moore’s passing the loss of a deeply admired friend, having shared with him some sixty years ago the searing heat of basic training in Arkansas, the bitter cold of wartime service in the French Alps, and the campaign miseries of southern Germany. And in all the years since, his true and steady friendship remained a bedrock source around which all of us who served with him rallied and drew inspiration as the years grew long. Always a valued example of honorable living to all who knew him and blessed with a lively and cheerful disposition, his creative nature and lively imagination distinguished his work in life and the influence he had on family and friends. He will live in our memory with the special brightness which always distinguished our times together.
