Thank you to everyone who joined us for John Phil’s Memorial.
Many drove and flew from far away to make it
that weekend, some cooked and some baked, some dug and some built, some prepared
and some planned. Many contributed
financially, which allowed us to make John’s wishes happen.
Thank you. We know
that this is exactly what John Moore wanted.
The day of John’s Memorial was important to us in each of
our own ways. In summary, it was a day
of family and friends, a day of good food, a day of great beer, and too many
cigars. We told stories of him, stories
of us, and we admired the recent developments of his prized Cathedral Falls. We laughed, we cried, but we laughed more than
we cried. We know this is exactly what
John Moore wanted.
We spread his ashes among Cathedral Falls, and later hosted
70+ people that day. The location looked
incredible, the acoustics boomed from a small stereo, the drinks were cold, and
the jokes were quick. We know this is
exactly what John Moore wanted.
This will become a place that we all go to celebrate John.
John Moore was a very direct man, an easy man to understand. A man who preferred to enjoy the good rather
than dwell in the bad, his Memorial was just that.
We will always remember John Phil Moore, and his favorite
place in Hidden Cove will continue to develop, in his honor, as he intended.
