In Memoriam

Thomas Michael
Moore '62


A Lancer out of sight
Never out of mind

Thomas Michael Moore '62

Vietnam Veteran

1944 - 2013 

The Class of '62 mourns the loss of its member, Tom Moore, who served in Vietnam.  Tom passed away on December 7, 2013 following years of suffering from COPD.  He had been hospitalized for the past two years at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Washington, D.C.  His home was in Woodbridge, VA.

Following his service in Vietnam, Tom continued to serve our nation as a federal employee, retiring from the Interstate Commerce Commission.  He was a volunteer with the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Woodbridge until hospitalized in 2012, at which time he became a member of the Veterans Administration's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder support group and supported other members.

In addition to his three brothers, Tom is survived by four children, seven grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

Tom is remembered as a member of the Lancers football teams in each of our four high school years. He also enjoyed volleyball and, in later years, he became an outdoor sportsman and enjoyed playing bridge, poker, and black jack.  Washington area members of the Class of '62 always enjoyed his company at our picnics and our '62 is 60 Birthday Party in 2004.  Most recently, Tom and his older brother, Jack, attended our 50th reunion in June 2012.  He will always be remembered and appreciated for his service to our country.

Tom's family suggests that any remembrances be made in the form of a donation to Soldier's Best Friend for the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( http://soldiersbestfriend.org/ ), or to the American Lung Association ( http://lung.org/stop-smoking/about-smoking/preventing-smoking/ ), with "Tom Moore" noted in the memo field.
