I am at a huge loss for words at this time. A bright shining star has just been added to the beautiful heavens up above. I have been cleaning the station for 9 years and have truly come to have the privilege of getting to know Don. We have had many a conversation in the evenings for many years. His practical jokes with my equipment and his fascinating conversation will be missed dearly. You are gone but not forgotten and we always said we would meet each other up above in the first row. God Bless you on your journey.
Craig and family,
I returned from vacation to read the email about the passing of your father. I'm sorry for your loss. Reading a little about him clearly shows his legacy and how much he was loved. My family and I will be keeping all of you in our prayers.
Sincerely, Joe Ferrell and family
I remember the first time I met Don, it was during a criminalistics course and he was teaching Ballistics (go figure). He walked in introduced himself and handed out the huge packet on ballistics, I though ugh?. this is going to be a long class. I knew nothing about guns, but by the end of the class I wanted to learn more. That was Don; he inspired many, whether it was in ballistics, photography, crime scene investigation or life. I had the great fortune to have known him and have learned from him.
Don accomplished a lot in his life, his knowledge that he shared with college students, police cadets and OPTA classes will live on and will not soon be forgotten nor shall he?.
And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. - Abraham Lincoln
He will be greatly missed.. To the Moore family you?re in my thoughts and prayers?.
Miss Judy, our prayers and sincerest sympathies are with you and your family. May God grant eternal rest on your husband, make him free from all pain and suffering and assign him as your family's guardian angel to guide and protect each and every one of you. God bless you all.
My deepest condolences to the Moore family. I met Don as a police explorer and he taught and inspired us as he had so many others. I was very sad to hear of his passing. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

Judyan, Russ, Todd, Craig and the entire Moore family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep your family and friends close to you so that you may draw strength from one another. A big hug from our family to yours. God Bless.
To the Moore Family, I am so utterly and terribly sorry for the loss of your dear father. Ptlm. Moore took me under his wing while I was an Explorer with North Ridgeville and taught me so many incredible things. He was the nicest guy--so passionate about his work. He took so much time to make sure I understood the work and felt comfortable with what I was doing. I could trust your father and knew he would help me no matter what. He was a great friend to me and I am so very, very saddened to hear of his passing. I will remember him always and only wish I could have told him what a great mentor he was. God grant you peace during this difficult time.
