He was quite gregarious and loved to laugh and have a good time. His magnetic personality, natural charisma, and generosity made him a friend to everyone – he was the kind of man who would give you his last dime if you needed it. He took pride in caring for those he loved, most especially his beloved Liz. Joe was an avid football fan and enjoyed horse racing.  He was also talented in the kitchen, having prepared countless batches of gravy and meatballs over the years,which were always appreciated by family and friends. In the true Italian tradition, one of his most frequent phrases was, “Did you get enough to eat?”

Joe loved to have fun and crack jokes; even through some difficult medical setbacks in recent years, he still managed to charm his doctors and nurses and he quickly became one of their favorite patients. His positive spirit and gentle nature will be missed by the many whose lives he touched.

Surviving are Joe’s children, Joseph F. Moore, Jr. (Troy Gremillion) of Houston, TX and Michelle Knight of Warminster.  He was the adoring “Pappy” to his granddaughter, Christina Knight, and he also leaves behind his brother, Frank Moore (Mary Ann) of Hatboro; and his nieces, Dawn Yanni (Kenny) and Heather Fagan (Jack); and his Fiance` Elizabeth's family.

Patti loved spending time outdoors and enjoyed tending to her garden and flowerbeds. She enjoyed summer nights sitting around the backyard fire-pit sharing laughs with friends and family. Her favorite time of year was winter and she would light up during the Christmas season. She was one of the few that hoped for snow and was often heard saying “think feet not inches.” She was proud of her country and her father being a veteran so she enjoyed displaying her red, white, and blue. Above all, she was selfless and loved her family and friends more than anything.
