William “Bill” R. Moore
May 8, 1942 – June 15, 2025
William Robert Moore, 83, of St. Francis, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on May 8, 1942, William lived a life defined by dedication, service, and a deep love for family and the outdoors. He served his country proudly in both the U.S. Navy and the Air National Guard. His professional journey included valued work with the Park Commission, the Milwaukee Domes, and General Motors, where he made lasting contributions and lifelong friendships.
William was a devoted husband to Barbara Jean Moore and a proud father to his four children: Thomas (Diane), Timothy (Tracy), Michelle (Todd), and Sheila Moore. He was a beloved grandfather to nine grandchildren: Ivan, Madelynn, Serena, Gabriela, Adam, Kira, Elena, Sam, and Anabella, each of whom brought immense joy to his life.
He found peace and happiness in nature, spending cherished time tending to his garden, camping “Up North,” and sharing stories around a campfire. His gentle spirit, strong work ethic, and quiet sense of humor touched everyone who knew him.
A visitation will be held Wednesday, June 18th, from 11am – 1pm at Heritage Funeral Homes (9200 S. 27th St. Oak Creek) followed by a funeral service which will begin at 1pm. William’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.
On behalf of our Greendale High classmates we all share in the passing of our dear Bill. Always kind, loyal, caring and helpful. Bill’s passing on Father’s Day is even more poignant as he was truly a great Dad.
May I extend our deepest condolences to Barb and their family.
In our early and mid-teens, we hung out , dated and listened to music in his attic bedroom carefull not to disturb his dad.
Favorite was “Sing, Sing, Sing” by Benny Goodman.
Later on Bill called and said he’d like to introduce me to a fellow he knew. Next thing I knew, we were on the train to Great Lakes Naval Training Center for Boot Camp. It was the Navy recruiter he introduced me to.
We were immediately separated on boot and met up several times. Once in San Diego, he provided a tour of the training submarine El Segundo then off to Tijuana. We met up again in the Phillippines, and wound up in Olongopo.
Won’t say what we were up to on “liberty”.
A lot of time passed since then, keeping in touch with occasional phone call and birthday messages.
We last met Bill and Barb in 2010 in Milwaukee where they provided a town tour. We, my wife Jan and I also stopped for a visit while Bill and family were camping.
All I can say is he was a great friend and a genuine good person.
Our sincere condolences to Barb and all the family. Wish we could have made it to the service, but we are out of town. Bill was a great guy and will be missed.
My sincere condolences to Bill’s family. The world would be better if there were more people like Bill. He was great to know and work with.
My heartfelt condolences to the Moore family.
I have so many fond memories of Mr. Moore—from him coaching our softball team to spending time with your whole family up north. He had such a positive impact on those around him, and he will truly be missed.
My thoughts are with you, Barb, and Bill’s family. Bill was a special part of our St. Francis Memorial Day Committee, arriving at each planning meeting with prepared note taking sheets for everybody and his binder of reference information. But as dedicated as he was to our ceremony, the day of the actual events found him up north with his family, where he most wanted to be. He was a wonderful guy.
