Thomas Buckley Moore

Thomas (Tom) Buckley Moore Sr., of Easton, Maryland, passed away peacefully with family by his side on November 8, 2025 at the age of 92. He was born May 12, 1933 in Bluefield, West Virginia, and was the son of the late Harry Lewis Moore and Rose Breen Moore. He graduated from Beaver High School before attending Concord College in 1951. During his senior year at Concord, he met his future bride, Patricia (Pat) Jean Davis. Tom and Pat were married in Bluefield on October 27, 1955. Tom was drafted into the U.S. Army in December 1955 obtaining the rank of Sergeant. While in the Army, he attended Language School in Monterey, California, learning Korean, before serving as a Linguistic Specialist while stationed in Japan. After serving four years in the Army, Tom worked for Pepco and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association installing computer systems. He then sold computer systems for IBM until he settled into Army Times Publishing Company where he became the Vice President for circulation before retiring in 1993. Tom and Pat raised their four children, Tom Jr., Lisa, Tim and Tricia in Silver Spring, Maryland, where they were active in the community. He chaperoned many high school dances, helped his sons with the paper route, and even allowed a recycling drive in his front yard. Tom was a patient and devoted father, fostering a household that regularly welcomed their friends and their children’s friends. It was here that many friendships were forged and maintained to this day. In 1998 they moved to Easton, Maryland from Fairfax Station, Virginia. He continued to stay active in the community, getting selected to be on the Easton Planning and Zoning Commission and as an active member of the Talbot Country Club. He also was a parishioner of Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus and American Legion. Tom loved reading the newspaper, home improvement projects (never missing an opportunity to build and install shelves), golfing, playing cards, watching the history channel and spending time in the Outer Banks with family and friends. But above all, Tom enjoyed spending time with his wife, kids, grandkids and as the family grew, great grandkids. His calm presence, sharp wit, and storytelling made him a joy to be around. In the last few years his life changed when he was diagnosed with Dementia, but his smile and spirit was there until the end. The family is appreciative of the kindness shown to him at Candlelight Cove by both the staff and all of his visitors. Tom is survived by his loving wife of 70 years, Patricia Davis Moore, and four children, Tom (Harriet), Lisa (Charles), Tim (Trish), Tricia (Mari) and their 8 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Tom was preceded in death by his parents, newborn son Michael, brother, Harry, daughter-in-law, Chrissie, and beloved cousins Judy Madole and Judy Calfee. A celebration of life will be held on December 6 at 12:00 at Saint Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Easton (1214 South Washington St, Easton) Donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association (https://www.alz.org) and Saint Vincent de Paul (https://svdpeastonmd.org
