My sincere condolences to the family. I am the granddaughter of Lura Naomi Moore and daughter of Lucille Anne Moore. I have found memories of Hertsel and Pat visiting grandma and my Aunt Nina on their back porch in Fairmont. I always thought of him as a warm loving person whose smile would light up even the porch outside! Rest in Peace Hertsel.
