A house RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF ELBERT TIMOTHY "TIM" MOORE, JR., TO CELEBRATE HIS LIFE, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened by the passing of Elbert Timothy "Tim" Moore, Jr., on February 20, 2024, at the age of 77; and
Whereas, born on November 18, 1946, in Augusta, Georgia, he was the son of Elbert Timothy Moore and Ann Foy Moore. His grandparents were Rufus Richmond Moore, Alda Sauls Moore, John Watkins Foy, and Mary Schumpert Foy; and
Whereas, the young Tim graduated from Barnwell High School, attended Wofford College, and received his bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as his Juris Doctor degree, from the University of South Carolina; and
Whereas, from 1968 to 1969, this patriotic American served in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade of the United States Army in Vietnam; and
Whereas, Tim coached football at Lower Richland High School, Barnwell High School, Socastee High School, Blackville-Hilda High School, and Furman University. His teams at Blackville-Hilda compiled a record of 81-10-l in his seven seasons there, winning state championships in 1983 and 1984. Further, he coached in the North-South All-Star football game in 1983 and the Shrine Bowl in 1984. Having expertise also in baseball, Tim coached that sport at Lower Richland, Socastee, and Blackville-Hilda. In addition to his coaching duties, he served as principal of Blackville Elementary School; and
Whereas, in 1986, he retired from coaching and entered law school at the University of South Carolina. After clerking for a circuit judge, he established the Moore Law Firm in Barnwell, where he practiced until his death. He was also in partnership with his father in Moore and Moore Cows, a cattle operation in Snelling; and
Whereas, Tim Moore served his community as a member of the Barnwell United Methodist Church, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 828, Barnwell Rotary Club, Ellenton Agricultural Club, South Carolina Association for Justice, South Carolina Democratic Party Executive Committee, and South Carolina PTSA (life member). He was also a former chairman of both the State Board of Education for South Carolina and Barnwell County Council; and
Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Frances Scott Turner Moore; sons Richmond Turner Moore (Parker) and Edward Foy Moore; grandchildren Eliza Brent Turner Moore, Richmond Thomas Moore, William Turner Moore, and Graydon Foy Moore; and a host of other family members and friends. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Elbert Timothy "Tim" Moore, Jr., celebrate his life, and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Elbert Timothy "Tim" Moore.
