William Henry Moore Jr. passed away Tuesday, May 3, 2016. Funeral: 2 p.m. Saturday at Galbreaith-Pickard Funeral Chapel. Burial: following in Annetta Cemetery. Visitation: 6 to 7 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. He was born July 8, 1925, in Knox City. Jr. spent his youth in West Texas, helping his family farm. He was a U.S. Army WWII Veteran. After his time spent in the war, he moved to Erath County, where he met the love of his life, Yvonne. Jr. worked for years on ranches, the majority on the D.G. Talbot Ranch outside of Aledo. At the young age of 54, he started working "in town" at factories. When he retired he couldn't be idle, he worked on a local ranch checking cattle and then a local greenhouse, just to keep busy. But when his wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor, all of his time went to taking care of her and staying by her side. Jr. was a "true cowboy" in every since of the way. He worked hard; leaving something for another day wasn't his way. Family was important to him and he was a good example for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was strong, willing to learn whatever was needed to do the job and he tried to pass that on to each one of us. Jr. was preceded in death by his wife, Yvonne Moore and son, Steve Moore. Survivors: His son, Ted Moore and wife, Carol, of Aledo; daughter, Pamela Cheryl Garcia of Lake Worth; grandchildren, Shari Conger and husband, Kirk, Sandy Moore, Tina Moore, Lucinda Erin Parker, Monica Parker, Jeff Moore and wife, Toni, Stephanie Carpenter and husband, Terry, and Vanessa Parker; 17 great-grandchildren; brothers, Alonzo Moore and wife, Bea, and Jerry Moore and wife, Wanda.
