Kenneth E. Moore, age 89, a resident of the Pines Lake section of Wayne for more than 60 years, passed peacefully at home on Friday, December 30, 2016. He was born in Passaic to Ernest and Wanda Moore. He met and married the love of his life, Janice Cupit Moore, and they remained friends, partners, and caring parents for 62 until her passing in 2011. They raised their three children, Kim, Darin and Heidi in a loving and respectful home.
Vital until the end, Ken had attended a church function just a few hours before his passing. He was an active and devoted member of the Preakness Reformed Church in Wayne where he served as a deacon, elder, Sunday school teacher and was a member of Helping Hands, bible study, book nook, pastoral search and outreach committees.
An avid reader and lover of poetry, Ken had also taken up oil painting and still enjoyed visiting the target practice range. Coin collecting and learning foreign languages were among his most recent pursuits.
Throughout his life, Ken exposed his children to the outdoors and his love of history. The family took trips across the United States, camping at many national parks and historically significant landmarks such as Fort Ticonderoga, Gettysburg, Glacier, Zion, Bad Lands, Mt. Rushmore, Yosemite, Hoover Dam, Sequoia and the Grand Tetons. His love of travel was resumed upon retirement, when he and Janice made a number of trips to the British Isles, Alaska, California and the Southwest.
Ken will be remembered as a strict yet gracious man who prided himself on his patriotism and devotion to his country and remained politically aware and active. He was a lifelong adventurous outdoorsman, hunter, fisherman, conservationist, and history buff. However, his greatest passion was fishing, which he indulged in well into his 80s. When not on the stream, he was tying flies, reading and writing about fly fishing, attending seminars, or simply talking about fishing. He was an active member of the Pines Lake community and served as president of the Pines Lake Fishing Club in the 1960s; he was a long-time member of Trout Unlimited.
Ken left Passaic High School midway through his senior year to join the United States Army – Air Corps. He was initially stationed at the United States Army Air Forces training base at the Lowry Air Field in Colorado and served much of his time as a ground crewman stationed in Guam. After his service he was awarded his high school diploma and later in life he attended classes at William Paterson University in Wayne. Just out of the service he worked as a flight instructor at the Lincoln Park Airport from 1946 through 1953 then began a career in automobile sales. In his younger years, Ken participated in British car road rallies, serving as driver and navigator in a Jaguar XK120 and XK140. He worked as a salesman and manager at Edwards Ford in Wayne, a salesman at Atkins Chevrolet in Wayne and finished his career working Route 23 Honda in Pompton Plains before retiring in 1992.
Ken was the loving husband of 62 years to the late Janice Cupit Moore (November 2011) with whom enjoyed a loving and devoted marriage before Janice’s passing in November of 2011; devoted father of Kim M. Moore of Lincoln Park, Darin K. Moore and his wife Kari Osaki-Moore of Laguna Beach, CA, and Heidi W. Moore and her husband George B. McAuliffe, III of New York City; cherished grandfather of Ryan Moore, Alexis Moore, Brooke Eyer, Camilla McAuliffe, Julian McAuliffe, Nicholas McAuliffe, and Taylor Williamson; he was the loved brother of the late Phyllis Blondin, and the late Audrey Dochtermann.
