Jack Hendricks Moore

Jack Hendricks Moore passed away at the age of 100 on Sunday, February 19, 2023 in Sebring, Florida. He was born June 5, 1922 in Southport, Indiana to the late Furman F. and Marcia H. Moore. During World War II, Jack served in the Navy as a gunners mate aboard the USS Sacramento and returned fire at Japanese aircraft as they attacked Pearl Harbor. After retiring from his career with the department of defense, he and his wife Clara, having raised their three sons, moved from Columbus Ohio to the Country Club of Sebring where they  resided since  1985.  As a Pearl Harbor Survivor, he returned to Hawaii with his family many times to join in the ceremonies commemorating the attack. His religious devotion to good nutrition and exercise were responsible for his long and healthy life. In fact, at the age of 94 he became, quite possibly, the oldest man to zip line Oahu. Jack’s passions included fishing, golf and watching his beloved Ohio State football team.  Jack is survived by his Sons – Dr. Curt Moore (Jane) of Dover, OH; Carl Moore of Columbus, OH; Jack C. Moore (Tanya) of Waukesha, WI; Grandchildren - Alisha M. Burks (Albert), Meredith J. Moore, Jackson Moore, and Taylor Moore; Great-Granddaughter – Adalyn Burks. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his Wife – Clara Elizabeth Moore.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Naval Museum in Sebring, FL, or Vitas Hospice in memory of Jack Moore. Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 25, 2023 at 11:30 AM at Stephenson-Nelson Funeral Home with family receiving friends beginning at 10:00AM. Following the Service, please join the family for a luncheon, in Jack's honor, from 1:30 - 4:00pm at The Pavilion on Little Lake Jackson next to the Tru Hilton Hotel in Sebring.
