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.
