Roger Lee Moore
May 3,1945 -
May 2,2017
oger Lee Moore
was born in West
Virginia to parents
Charles and Irene
Moore. He was
blessed to have four sisters and three
brothers.
Roger worked in the Portland shipyards
painting ships, as a fisherman in Astoria, and
in his early years was a logger in West
Virginia. He also helped build a home for his
brother-in-law, Joe, and also helped many
family and friends with decks and repairs.
He became a Catholic at the Holy Rosary
Church in Portland recently and was elated
that after many years his dreams finally come
true.
He loved the Oregon coast and went there
as much as he could for vacations with his
partner Vicky Sittinghawk Moore, and her
family for reunions or a long weekend. Roger
loved to walk for hours on the beach looking
for interesting finds that the sea offered up to
him.
Fishing was always a passion and one he
pursued when he could with gusto.
An advocate for the homeless, he was
involved with the newspaper “Street Roots” for
many years.
Roger died in the arms of his partner, Vicky,
who he was with for more than 20 years. They
“married” in a commitment ceremony and
pledged their hearts and souls together for
eternity.
“Roger was the most loving and caring
person I ever met, never selfish and
generous, thinking of others first,” Vicky said.
A funeral mass will be noon, Friday, June 2,
at Holy Rosary Catholic Church 375 NE
Clackamas St., Portland.

SPREAD THE LOVE!
Timber Jim Serrill (above, on his knee, right of
center) stopped by the Street Roots vendor
office Friday morning, May 12, to “spread the
love” with a limited edition scarf from the Timbers
Army.
Timber Jim is the former chainsaw-wielding
mascot for the Portland Timbers soccer team.
On one side of the scarves is Jim’s slogan,
“Spread the Love,” and on the other side,
“Housing is a Human Right.” The scarves were
made for Street Roots and are available for sale
from the Timbers Army at the team’s home
matches at Providence Park. Proceeds from
sales go to Street Roots, while supplies last.
At right, Timber Jim shares a selfie with Street
Roots vendor Saoirse-Seersha Bell.
