Terry Moore

Terry Glynn Moore, 76, entered into eternal rest April 19, 2020 in Slidell, LA.  Terry was born on June 12, 1943 in Lewisburg, TN.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Archie Glynn Moore and Novella Carothers Moore of Charleston Heights, SC.  He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Julie A. Moore, nee Mareno, son Michael Glynn Moore (wife Melissa), their children, Robert and Kadence and Alexis Gierlings; daughter Laura Moore Wagner (husband Johnny), and their children Harper and Gray.  He is also survived by his sister Wanda Moore Bostain (husband Ronnie) of Mount Pleasant SC; brothers-in-law Barry Mareno (wife Mary) of Theodore AL, Terry Mareno (wife Michelle), of Waveland, MS and Michael (Jerry) Mareno of Theodore AL as well as several nieces and nephews.  Terry retired from Charleston Naval Shipyard in 1995 where he worked as a warehouseman and as a pipefitter.  After moving to Slidell in 1996, he worked at Gallagher Moving and Storage in New Orleans for several years.  But the job he was most proud of was the four years he spent in the United States Air Force.  He was trained as a radio repairman specializing in the F4 fighter jet.  While in the Air Force he was stationed at several air bases in the states and did a tour of Vietnam in 1968-1969.  He was stationed at Tan Son Nhut Air Force Base in Saigon during the Tet Offensive of 1968.  He was a member of the Tan Son Nhut Association of Vietnam Veterans.  His greatest love was spending time with his family, especially his children and his beloved grandchildren.  He particularly loved camping and fishing with the family when his children were younger.  He was a Cub Scout leader for several years in South Carolina and worked with the Boy Scouts of the World while stationed in Vietnam.  “Mr. Terry” was a familiar figure around town, often stopping at one of the local Waffle Houses for a glass of tea or a cup of coffee.  He always had time to talk to people and wish them “good day.”
