Obituary of Lawrence Lee Moore

Lawrence L. Moore went to his heavenly home after a brief illness on November 5, 2019 at Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck, NY. Larry was born in Poughkeepsie, NY on August 30, 1948 to Albert Gerald Moore and Marie Louise Sampson.

Larry graduated from Arlington High School, Class of 1967. Following graduation, he served with the U.S. Navy from 1967 to 1971 (active duty) and 1971 to 1973 in Naval Reserves. He met Karen Budwill while working as an electrician at Vassar College and they married in 1981. They celebrated 38 years of marriage in October. Larry and his wife accepted Christ together and were active in the churches where they lived, including Faith Assembly of God in Poughkeepsie, NY, Mitchell Hollow Mission Church in Windham, NY and most recently, Cross Point Fellowship in Hurley, NY.

His parents predeceased him and his stepmother, Bette P. Moore survives in Okeechobee, FL. Also surviving are his wife; son Ian S.

Larry was full of the joy of the Lord and quick to lend a hand to anyone in need. Larry loved his family and cherished time spent with his grandchildren. He was an avid gardener and took pleasure in sharing vegetables with his neighbors.
