Richard was predeceased by his beloved wife, Mary Sue. He is survived by his loving children Christopher Moore (Chikako Miyoshi), Richard E. (Heidi Gunderson) Moore, and Melissa Moore (Mike Latulippe), and his dear grandchildren Markus, Helena, and Henrik. Also survived by his loving siblings Dennis (Maryann) Moore, and Lynn Moore.
