He last served as the Chief of Police at the Norfolk International Airport, retiring in 1991. Born in Norfolk in 1926 and the son of Mr. John Alton and Cleo Moore, Moore graduated from Norview High School in 1944.

However, he was drafted into the Army and served as a rifleman with the 7th Armored Division in Belgium and Germany in 1945. After leaving active service in 1947, he attended East Carolina Teachers’ College (now East Carolina University). During the late ‘40s and early ‘50s he played baseball in the Carolina League. Beginning in the late ‘50s and continuing into the ‘60s, he was an active participant in the Norfolk City Baseball League, playing on numerous teams, including those sponsored by Colonial Chevrolet, Wisco Storm Windows and Doors, and Zoby Plumbing.

He was a member of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Norfolk and the 7th Armored Division Association.
