It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tony Moore, who was raised in Wyoming, Ontario, and later lived in Blenheim, Ontario. Tony passed away in Fergus on September 8, 2024, at the age of 79, leaving behind cherished memories. Tony was predeceased by his parents, Clinton and Gladys Moore, as well as his aunt Hazel Lamont and uncle Orvil Matthews. He leaves behind his beloved wife, partner in adventures, and co-pilot of 59 years, Jane (Mitchell) Moore. Together, they raised their cherished daughters, Barbara Moore and Carrie (husband Wayne) Carroll. Tony was immensely proud of his grandchildren, Andrew and Erin Carroll, and Hunter Moore, frequently sharing their accomplishments and latest activities with those around him. Tony will be remembered for his infectious smile, laughter, and the twinkle in his eye as he spoke about his friendships, adventures, and various employment roles.
