Mr. Moore was a man of many passions. He loved fishing and had a remarkable talent for fixing and repairing just about anything. His green thumb was evident in his enjoyment of gardening and tending to his flowers. He enjoyed all types of music. Mike also delighted in the tradition of canning and freezing vegetables, especially corn. Cooking was another of his gifts; he was known as a good cook who his family depended on for their traditional fried turkey. He relished preparing meals not only for himself but for his family and friends.

His devotion to his family was central to his life. Mike is survived by his loving wife Wanda Hall Moore, who stood by his side with unwavering support for thirty-eight years, his son Larry Michael Moore, Jr., along with his brother, Wayne Moore and his wife Carol. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Greta Revels Sinclair whom he loved dearly and was truly devoted to, along with his brothers, Dale Allen and Benny Allen.

Mike’s legacy is one of unconditional love and generosity, who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life well-lived. He was an avid supporter of UGA football, embodying the spirit and camaraderie that sports can inspire, and he enjoyed spending time with his dog, Bodie.

Mike lived a life of purpose and kindness, leaving behind a lasting impression on all who knew him. His memory will be treasured by those who loved him, and his spirit will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to share in his journey.
