John Warner Moore, Jr., Esquire, passed from earth early on August 1, 2019 from natural causes at the age of 92.
Left to mourn his passing are his sister, Marianne C. Moore of Hartford, CT and his two sons, David M. Moore, Esquire of Simsbury, CT and James M. Moore, of Farmington, CT.
Also mourning his passing are his daughter in law, Elizabeth M. Moore, and his grandchildren.
John was predeceased by his wife, Virginia Hamilton (Smith) Moore, and his eldest son, John Warner Moore, III.
John was born in Bronxville, New York to Lt. Commander John Warner Moore, USN, Chaplain Corps and Constance (Eustis) Moore, their youngest of four children.
The family followed Chaplain Moore with most of his various postings as he rose through the ranks, which meant that John lived in a variety of locals, like Norfolk, Virginia, Vevey, Switzerland, American Samoa, and New London, Connecticut.
Shortly before World War II began, John’s father was promoted to Captain, and after the war started, he was promoted to Pacific Fleet Chaplain.
Captain Moore made it known that he did not want his only son to follow him.
Against such express wishes, John’s patriotism led him to enlist in the U.S. Navy as an Electric Technician’s Mate, training in the operating and servicing of radar systems.
To John’s father’s profound relief, John’s training went past the end of the war.
After completing the training, John was honorably discharged at the end of 1945.
John was accepted into Yale University, where he excelled in swimming.
After graduation, John worked for Armstrong Rubber in New Haven, CT, and then for Scovill Manufacturing, later Scovill, Inc., in Waterbury, Connecticut.
He met, then married, “Ginny,” who kept him on the straight and narrow, and they lived in Woodbury, CT, West Hartford, and Farmington, having and raising their three sons along the way.
John, while becoming a rising star with Scovill’s employee relations section, also attended UConn Law School’s night division, graduating and passing the bar in 1960.
By 1968, John was promoted to be Vice-President of Employee Relations and had developed a reputation for being a fair-minded, honest, yet tough negotiator.
John’s efforts led Scovill to being one of the few Fortune 500 companies that had almost no work stoppages.
John was awarded the McAuliffe Medal Award by Hartford’s Archbishop Whealon in 1969 for recognizing moral principles which insist on the recognition of mutual rights and responsibilities in labor-management relations.
John then took his negotiating skills to the UConn Health Center, where he became the Assistant Vice-President for Human Resources and earned the respect of both the Administration and Union leaders alike.
As his tenure at UConn wound down, John was appointed as an Alternate Member to the State of Connecticut Labor Board.
When John retired from the UConn Heath Center, he was appointed a Regular Member and Chair to the Labor Board (a position he served for almost 10 years), serving under three governors.
John had a strong faith, while in recent years it was practiced privately, which was tested by the deaths of his wife and eldest son.
John was elected and ordained to the Board of Ruling Elders of the Westminster Presbyterian Church and served as its Chair during a moment of significant upheaval.
John also became Chair of Moral Re-Armament, Inc. (an institution that gave birth to both AA and Up With People prior to John’s tenure), which later became known as Initiatives for Change, in the 1980’s through the mid-1990’s.
John also was a member and a leader with the First Church of Christ, Farmington.
A Funeral Service will be held at Ahern Funeral Home, Unionville.
Committal with military honors will follow at Riverside Cemetery, Farmington.
