William Gerald Moore
William Gerald Moore (Gerald
or Gerry) passed away on Thursday, August 19, 2020. He was in his 83rd
year.
Gerald was born in Ancaster,
Ontario and lived there his whole life until he moved to Moncton, NB
in 2012 to live with his son and family.
An avid Standardbred horseman,
Gerald was well-known in the harness racing industry; he owned and
trained harness racing horses. He was the « man behind the hanging
shoe » [Hamilton Spectator article] and built and repaired harness
racing carts.
Gerald is survived by his
daughter Gayle (Vince Swales), his son Arthur (Corrine May), grandson
Finley Moore, and nieces Terri and Anne. He was predeceased by his
wife Jane (nee Neil), his sister Patricia, and his parents William
(Bill) and Margaret (Peggy).
Special thanks to the Neil family for
looking out for Gerald over the years, and for people who were like
family including Mr. and Mrs. Doug Fields and Nancy and Mike Holmes.
The Moore family thanks the staff at Moncton Hospital
for their incredible work and kindness.
Cremation has taken place.
When it’s safe to do so, Art and Gayle will bring Dad home
to Ancaster to reside beside Mom.
