2A | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS On The Record OBITUARIES MOORE—Jack Orson Moore, born Oct. 10, 1934 (Colfax, Wisc.), passing on July 29, 2020. Due to the pandemic, a private ceremony will be held with his immediate family. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make donations to the New Life Lutheran Church, Florence, Jack Moore Ore. Below is from Jack’s Memoir’s he wrote a few years ago: “From as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a carpenter. Teaching was more secure, but I even thought about becoming a minister. But I felt I lacked the polish to preach to all ages, and that through my interest in sports I could help young people more. I loved teaching in the class- room (or shop) but thought many of my administrators and all of the legislators where nuts. The pay for teachers was ridiculous. I drew designs and plans for over 1,000 buildings (houses, remod- els, additions and several small commercial build- ings). Without the income from this, I would have had to quit teaching and proba- bly would have been a con- tractor. I am very proud of my family. My wife, who stuck with me through some tough times, I hope she’ll write her memoirs; I know she’ll do a better job than me. Sean and Darrin both married well and have very fine children. Kevin is still single and lives in Ore- gon. I, along with volun- teers, helped him to build a house in Diamond Lake Junction where he owns a café...” Jack was an Eagle Scout and Scout Master of Troop 25. He graduated from Chico State University and was a charter member of Phi Kappa Tau. He taught for over 31 years. Jack began his teach- ing career at Brett Harte Junior High in Oakland, Calif., then at Piedmont High School (teaching and coaching JV basketball, varsity baseball). Later, he moved to Col- fax, Calif., to teach at Col- fax High School (coaching JV basketball and varsity baseball). He taught architectur- al drafting and drawing at Sierra Junior College for 20 years before retiring in 1989. Jack wanted everyone to know “He knew how to work.” He always loved to have a project. Some of those projects included an addition to the Lutheran Church in Meadow Vista, Calif., and several proj- ects at New Life Lutheran Church in Florence, Ore.: The Memorial Garden plaque, Grapevine rendi- tion behind the alter, Lec- tern, and he was working with the men’s club on an addition to the fellowship hall and the ABC Pre- school. During all of this time, he was able to help with Habitat for Humanity. Jack was a dog lover too, having several dogs: Casey, Gomer, Rusty, Maxwell, Bruiser, Maggie and Tilly. Police seek whereabouts of two suspected kidnappers On Aug. 23, at approxi- mately 7:30 a.m., Troopers from Oregon State Police Florence and Springfield Area Command responded to an injured male on Hwy. 126 W. near milepost 26.5. The male victim was lo- cated on the highway with extensive injuries to his head, face and body and was transported to PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Hospital in Florence for treatment of his injuries. It was reported that Mi- chael Light and two addi- tional unknown males had assaulted the male victim for an extended period of time in his campsite before Mi- chael Light left with a female victim against her will. At some point in the ear- ly morning hours, the male victim escaped into a heavi- ly forested area and hid un- til daylight hours before he was eventually found on the highway. An area search located Michael Light and the fe- male victim in a vehicle in the area. Michael Light was taken into custody without further incident. Florence landlord accused of housing discrimination The U.S. Attorney’s Of- fice announced Monday (Aug. 24) that it has filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that the owner of residential rental housing in Florence, Ore., made discriminatory statements, preventing a foster parent from applying to rent a home, in violation of the federal Fair Housing Act. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Eu- gene, alleges that Kathie Carmer, 74, of Florence, engaged in unlawful famil- ial status discrimination in connection with a sin- gle-family home in Flor- ence that she had adver- tised for rent on Craigslist. The civil complaint al- leges that a prospective tenant called Carmer in November 2018 to inquire about the rental and dis- closed that she was looking for a residence suitable for herself and her four foster children. The filed complaint asserts three allegations against Carmer of discrim- ination against families with children, based upon the findings of HUD’s in- vestigation: (1) refusing to rent or to negotiate for the rental of the adver- tised property because of familial status; (2) dis- criminating in the terms, conditions, or privileges of the rental of a dwelling be- cause of familial status; and (3) making discouraging and other discriminatory statements to a potential renter with children. Jack is survived by his wife of 63 years, Colleen Ann Moore (Jack and Col- leen resided in Florence, Ore., for the past 23 years); three sons: Sean Patrick Moore (wife Sharon), Darrin Timothy Moore (wife Kelley), and Keven Dow Moore; grandchil- dren: Blair Ann Hudson (husband Michael), Blaine Allan Moore (wife Erin), Ryan Patrick Moore (fian- cée Lauren), and Jacklyn Tara Moore; great-grand- children: Hayden and Harper Hudson, and Callie and Cooper Moore.
