THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2025 Page 19 OBITUARY Daniel Douglas Moore aniel DouglasMoore Dan had many passions: he was an enthusiastic sportsman, a lover of history and politics, and a skilled storyteller. Dan was a dedicated historian, and spent years researching his ancestry, leaving behind a legacy of carefully compiled volumes on the Moore family, now housed in the Family History Library in Utah. His love of history, great cigars, and engaging conversations made him a treasured companion to many, especially Millie whom he loved to travel with. Dan infl uenced countless lives B orn in Charlottesville, Virginia on March 31, 1932, passed away peacefully at home on April 6, 2025, with his beloved wife Millie by his side at the age of 93. His was a life rich with purpose, passion, and devotion to family, country, and community. Dan proudly served his country during the Korean War, where his sharp mind and quick typing skills earned him a position stateside as the Company Clerk. His love for storytelling and entertainment began early — his fi rst job was as an usher at a local movie theater in Virginia. That passion later led him to the airwaves, where he became a radio personality in Norfolk, Virginia where he would interview several celebrities about their endeavors. Always one to seek out new experiences, Dan also earned his pilot’s license and found great joy in fl ying, often piloting his family to new destinations. During the Kennedy Administration, Dan served with great distinction as Chief National Bank Examiner for the U.S. Treasury Department — a role that suited his sharp mind and deep understanding of fi nance. Here he received the Certifi cate for Meritorious Service. Dan was an avid boater and the proud captain of the family boat, Seven Seas, where he and his loved ones shared countless adventures and unforgettable memories. For over five decades, Dan owned and operated the ABC Cigar Store in Revere, Massachusetts. It was more than just a business — it was a community hub and a place where he formed lifelong friendships, shared stories, and mentored many. He worked there faithfully until his fi nal days. — friends, customers, mentees, and others he considered family. His wisdom, wit, and warmth left an indelible mark, and he never took a single relationship for granted. A devoted father, Dan was deeply involved in his children’s lives — cheering from the sidelines at football games, encouraging their pursuits, and celebrating their accomplishments. He is survived by his wife Carmella, “Millie” of 30 years and his children: Daniel Moore of Virginia (wife Susan), Christopher Moore of Massachusetts (wife Colleen; children Alexandra and Taylor), Charles Moore of New Hampshire (wife Angela; children Anthony, Nikolas, and Kaitlin), and Juliana Moore Luz of Maryland (husband Ryan Luz; children Madison and Cameron). He is predeceased by his son David Moore, whose memory lived on dearly in Dan’s heart. He is also survived by his stepchildren Rozie of Iowa (husband Michael Drella; children Chris, Anthony, Samantha), Anne of Iowa (husband David Leclair; children Robert and Jessica), and Duwane of New Hampshire (wife Shannon; daughter Autumn), each of whom held a special place in his life. Annie, in particular, was a constant and caring presence in recent years, and Dan was especially grateful for the support she provided to him and Millie. Dan, lovingly known as Papa, will be deeply missed by his grandchildren, who brought him endless joy and love. To make a long story short: Dan was an extraordinary man. He lived fully, gave generously, and will be missed beyond measure.
