He served with the 920th Refueling Squadron at Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda, Michigan from August 1963 to March 1967 and also flew with the Air National Guard at Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire.

Marcia began her career as a primary school teacher at Sagle Elementary School. Marcia retired in June of 2013 and it was their dream to split their retirement between Mesa, Arizona and Bottle Bay.
Tim was passionate about his alma mater, Michigan State University, and was an avid fan of the school’s football and basketball teams. He thought northern Idaho was the most beautiful place on earth and he loved his Bottle Bay neighbors and Sandpoint friends. He also loved politics, history, and was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. Above all else, Tim was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend who wanted nothing more than spending time with those he loved.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents, George and Vernetta Moore, and his sister, Barbara Moore.
