"Sorrow comes in great waves…but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us it leaves us on the spot, and we know that if it is strong we are stronger inasmuch as it passes and we remain."

Billie "Bill" Ray Moore went to be with the Lord on December 31, 2020 at the age of 74, at Annie Penn Hospital.

Bill was a recognized construction worker, but his most impactful jobs included being a daddy to his children and pawpaw to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bill is preceded in death by his parents, Lewis and Bessie Moore, many brothers and sisters, the mother of his children, Darlene Moore, and son Billie Ray Moore, Jr.

Bill is survived by his daughters Amy Jamison & John Hogan, and Crystal Moore & Mike Richardson; his grandchildren Corey Jamison, Jay Richardson, Summer Gould & Shaine Gould, Kimberly Hogan, Cassi Reyes & Rudy Maldonado, and Levi Richardson; and his great-grandchildren Daralynn, Walker, Ivie, Zanthius, Kaylani.

A funeral service is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 3 at Boone & Cooke Funeral Home in Eden, NC. The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. immediately preceding service and other times at the residence.
