Grandmaster Moore taught my son Zachary in 2000 at the Georgetown clubhouse. He imparted fairness but strength to all of the boys and thes qualities will be carried onward by all whose lives he touched. Our Son is now pursuing an engineering degree and adopts a cando approach-I feel enhanced by Grandmaster Moore's influence. He will be greatly missed.

Ralph will be sadly missed. I didn't get to see him very much over the years, but always talked to Pat about him and found out how is was from time to time. He and I where 2nd cousins. May God be with his family at their time of need. Greg Collins.
