James Darryl Moore Sr.

OAKLAND – James Darryl Moore Sr., 83, entered eternal rest on July 22, 2022, in Portland. James was born in 1938 in Roxbury, Conn. to Glenice (Berry) Moore and James O. Moore.

James was hardworking and dedicated to his family. He would drop anything to help someone out. Even after he retired after years of hard labor, he worked at KVCAP, driving those in need. James inspired those around him to work hard and to live life to the fullest.

He had a great sense of humor and a joyous laugh that lit up the room. He loved children and had fun joking and playing with them.

His favorite times were spent at his family camp, the Moore family campground. He loved four-wheeling, sitting by the fire, fishing, hunting spotting deer and just being surrounded by his family.

James is survived by his children, Eugene (Erica) Young, James (Gloria) Moore Jr., Ruby Mullen, Dianne Pilla, Jeffrey (Ada) Moore; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; sibling Steven Moore; nephews and nieces; and beloved dog Sadie.

A celebration of life will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24, at Pooler cemetery in Skowhegan, with reception to follow.
