Brian M. Moore

Brian M. Moore, 78 of Hanover, passed away on February 6, 2023, after a long illness surrounded by his loving family.  Brian was full of personality and most definitely had the gift of gab.  He won most everyone over with his stories and that little mischievous twinkle he had in his eyes when he was about to pull some shenanigans.  

Brian leaves behind his wife Marti (Blake) Moore and daughters Kimberly Kenny and her husband Andy of Uxbridge, and Amy Wright and her husband John of Hanson.  He also leaves behind eight grandchildren – Adam Kenny of PA, Jenna (Kenny) McGoldrick and husband Joseph of PA, Grace Kenny of RI, Haley Kenny, Colleen Kenny, Nicholas Wright, Charlotte Wright, and Brian Wright, and his Great Grandchild Logan McGoldrick.  He was the son of the late Victor F. Moore and Margaret (Scannell) Moore of Quincy, and brother of the late Paul F. Moore of Milton.

Brian grew up in Quincy, MA by Wollaston Beach and spent his childhood swimming in the ocean and hanging out with his brother and neighbors.  He spent a lot of time with his father and that is where he learned how to fix things.  He tagged along and was the go-for when he was little and was sent to find the screwdriver or hammer; and as he grew older, helped and learned alongside his Dad how to fix anything from a roof to a wall.  He had many lifelong friends and was always around to help someone fix a car, roof, deck – anything you asked he would be there to help out.  

Brian began working at the MBTA in the late 1960’s retiring from the MBTA in 1996.  He met his beautiful wife and love of his life Marti at the Beachcomber in Wollaston in 1969.  They were married in 1970 and were devoted to each other for 53 years.  They had two daughters Kimberly and Amy, Brian’s Girls as they were called, were his world.  Brian’s heart was huge, he loved his friends, their families, our friends as if they were his family and he would do anything for you.

Brian left a positive impact on everyone he met, he was always around to offer advice (whether you wanted it or not) and he always had a catchphrase or some tidbit of advice for pretty much any scenario you can think of and he would offer it up.  If you ask anyone that met him they probably have at least 3-5 solid Brian tips from how to invest your money to when you should buy your retirement condo in Florida so it’s all paid off when you are ready to retire;  and we can’t forget that you should be investing in your retirement as soon as  you start working. 

He spent most of his life going to Cape Cod with friends and family, he loved the ocean and creating a lifetime of memories on Cape Cod and that tradition is still cultivated today.  We were so happy to be able to bring him to the Cape one last time over the summer and wheel him over to the beach and have him sit on the deck breathing in the scent of sea air surrounded by his family.  

Brian’s greatest joy in life aside from his girls, was his grandchildren.  He loved each one of them so very much and had a special bond with them that will never be broken.  He had inside jokes, and tidbits of life lessons he shared with them, and the not so appropriate advice he gave them in love and life.  In the last few years when he was bed bound he loved to have them snuggle up with him and watch tv, laugh and talk with them.  He especially loved watching them enjoy the pool he built with his friends when they moved to Hanover.  He loved to sit on the deck and watch (the fish as he liked to call) them swim all day.  

Brian will be celebrated at a later time in the spring with a Celebration of Life party, he did not want a wake or funeral.
