RECORDS Wednesday, april 17, 2019 HerMisTOnHerald.COM • A5 OBITUARIES Jeanne Suzanne Rhome Hermiston October 18, 1955 — April 10, 2019 Moore Robert W. Moore Bend January 27, 1944 — April 4, 2019 Robert W. Moore died on Thursday, April 4, 2019, in Bend, Oregon. Born Jan- uary 27, 1944, to Clarence and Feryl Moore of Herm- iston, Oregon, he was the sixth of eight children. Bob, as he was known by friends and family alike, graduated high school as a Hermiston Bulldog in 1962 and then attended Walla Walla Col- lege to study history and education. He became a school teacher and principal in the Adventist school system. Bob chose to pursue med- icine so he went back to school to fulfill his pre-med requirements at Walla Walla College. With a wife and three young kids, he then began medical school at the Kansas City College of Osteopathic Medicine, grad- uating in 1978. After med- ical school, Bob took his wife and now four kids to Cleveland, Ohio, where he did his residency and intern- ship in orthopedics. For a time, Bob practiced privately in Yakima, Wash- ington, then moved to Ath- ens, Ohio, where he worked both as a professor and cli- nician at Ohio Universi- ty’s College of Osteopathic Medicine before opening his own private practice. Bob was an avid fisher- man, a gun collector, a vora- cious reader, and an excep- tional cook. He is survived by his children: Todd Moore and his wife Maisha, Emilie (Moore) Torretta and her husband Gary, Craig Moore and his wife Sheila, and Rebecca (Moore) Lubbers and her husband Bryan, as well as his beloved grand- children, many nieces and nephews, and two favorite sisters, Daisy and Lila. Bob will be missed for his quick wit, his generos- ity, his insightful advice, and his love. Arrangements are in care of Niswonger-Reynolds Funeral Home of Bend. George A.
