Edward Eddie Dixon Moore Edward Eddie Moore, age 86, passed away peacefully on September 18, 2012, at Garbry Ridge in Piqua. Born in April 1926 in Bristol, PA, Eddie was raised in Lynbrook, NY by his doting uncle and aunt, William and Florence Dayton. He graduated early from high school at the age of 17 to enlist in the Merchant Marines to serve in World War II, working in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of operation during his three-year tour. He was then drafted into the Army to serve for two 2 years during the Korean conflict. Ever proud of his military service, he was often seen about town sporting a hat that read "WWII-Korean Veteran." He earned his college degree from Columbia University in New York City just a few years before marrying his wife, Honoré Nona Moore in 1958. She survives him. Once married, he brought his bride to Troy, Ohio, where they established a home to raise a family. His four children, their spouses and grandchildren survive him: Margaret Peggy and Kathleen Moore, Anne and Bart Goings are in Troy. Granddaughter Layne Goings lives in Springfield. Eddie's son, Edward, III, his daughter-in-law, DeAnne, and grandsons Edward, IV, and Shane are in New Hampshire. His granddaughter, Erica Dobrzeniecki, lives in Piqua. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward and Frances Lambert Moore, sister, Janice, brother William, and his uncle and aunt, William and Florence Dayton. His sister-in-law, Jean Moore, and his nieces, Frances Kyle and Laurie Lake, also survive. He served with the Sheriff Patrol from 1959-1962. A stockbroker by profession, Eddie retired from Prudential Bache in 1994 after more than 30 years of employment and was an active member of the Troy Rotary Club until he retired, having years of perfect attendance pins to his credit. He was a member of the National Shaving Mug Collectors Association and loved to share both his personal collection and his enthusiasm for shaving mugs, witch hazel bottles and barber paraphernalia with anyone who came to visit. The game of bridge was a favorite of his, along with a good gin martini. He enjoyed life every day and lived it to the fullest. Visitation will be held at Baird Funeral Home on Friday, September 21, 2012 from 4-6 p.m. Services will be held on Saturday, September 22, at 2 o'clock at the funeral home with burial following immediately at Riverside Cemetery.
