Longtime Alaska resident Stanley L. "Bud" Moore, 54, died July 18 at South Peninsula Hospital in Homer after a long battle with cancer. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Mutch's Beach Property. A gathering will follow at the Anchor Point River Gift Shop. If weather doesn't permit, the service will be held at the gift shop.
Mr. Moore was born Nov. 16, 1938, in Reno, Nev. He traveled with his family on road construction jobs during earlier years. During his teen years, he rode in rodeos, was a Golden Glove contender in boxing, and enjoyed hunting, fishing and riding motorcycles. Mr. Moore worked at ranching and the Red Bird Mine on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. He worked heavy equipment and processed iron ore for the Japanese market in the late 1950s and 1960s. He married his childhood sweetheart, Vada, in 1959, and resided in Winnemucca, Nev. Their first child, Pat, was born there, and later a daughter, Cindy, was born in Bridgeport, Calif. To advance his career, Mr. Moore attended Northwest Heavy Equipment and Engineering School for two years. His love for the outdoors led him to travel to Alaska with his brother, Ron, in 1962. That trip ended with the brothers in La Grande, Ore., working for Boise Cascade for a year. When the timber and logging industry took a nose dive in 1963, the brothers and families moved to Sitka. Mr. Moore found work at the Alaska Lumber and Pulp Mill in Sitka, later transferring to the islands to run heavy equipment and to build specialized logging roads. He also worked in the road construction industry during lulls in logging. In 1975, Mr. Moore decided to move out of the logging camps when his children's high school education was a priority. While in the logging camps, the children had been taught through the State of Alaska Correspondence System. During these years, Mr. Moore enjoyed hunting, fishing and traveling around different islands by boat. The Southeast inland passages were places he loved, according to his family. Mr. Moore left Southeast to work on the trans-Alaska oil pipeline and the family made a home in Willow, living on the west side of Hatcher Pass. Later, they relocated to Sunshine Station near the Alaska Railroad and worked in and around Talkeetna. He worked out of Prudhoe Bay for some years with Frontier Construction. In 1984, the family moved to Anchor Point. Mr. Moore was active with the Anchor Point Volunteer Fire Department driving a tanker truck.
He is survived by his wife, Vada of Anchor Point; a daughter, Cindy Maxim, grandchildren, Michelle and Jesse Maxim, of Anchorage; nieces and nephews; and other relatives. He was predeceased by his sons, Scott and Pat, and brother, Ron. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Anchor Point Volunteer Fire Department, P.O. Box 246, Anchor Point 99556, or in Mr. Moore's name to the American Cancer Society, Alaska Chapter. Arrangements were handled by Peninsula Memorial Chapel.
