Obituary for John Alan Moore
Moore, John Alan
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Moore on December 9, 2020 at the age of 87 with his family by his side. Loving father to Chris (Corinne) of Vancouver and Elizabeth (Scott) of Port Robinson. Predeceased by his beloved wife Laura (2012) and eldest son Stephen (2005).
Cherished grandfather of Robert, Jack, Robyn and Audrey.
He will be sadly missed by his sisters and many nieces and nephews in the UK and Australia.
In 1952 John met the love of his life Laura in Liverpool where they both attended University. Mom was studying physiotherapy and Dad was studying physics. They married in 1956 and two years later Dad graduated with a PhD in Nuclear Physics at age of 25. In the following years, they lived in Reading England, Long Island USA, Deep River Ontario and Saskatoon Saskatchewan where Dad enjoyed his career as a researcher. In 1967 the family relocated to St Catharines where he was a professor at Brock University from the years 1967 until his retirement in 1993. In the subsequent years Dad enjoyed his wood carving, travelling with Laura and his role as a Grandfather.
Dad's life was always led by his curiosity of the natural world, believing that birth, life and death are the natural cycle of everything. What happens after death is shrouded in mystery, and will always remain so.
We love you Dad and will miss you always.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at Lookout Ridge Retirement Home for the tremendous care and compassion Dad received while there. We will always be grateful.
In keeping with Dad's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of John's life will take place at a later date in the UK with all his family.
As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to Parkinson Canada.
