In Honor of Lawrence P Moore
August 4, 1963 - October 4, 2007
Lifelong experienced hunter and woodsman.
Larry was a great man who was loved and respected by many. He will be greatly missed.
Larry spent the best part of 20 years hunting and camping and just roaming these woods. He felt at home here. Many trips by himself and many with friends.
Therefore we feel this should be his final resting place and spread his ashes here.
Larry will love his home and continue hunting and wandering forever. This was his life long dream; which we hope he can continue.
From time to time his friends will come to visit, and I'm sure so will many strangers.
So, if you are sitting around your campfire at night having a drink, be sure to toast to Larry, because he'll be right here with you.
GOODBYE TO ONE OF THE BEST!!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH!!
