Clarence Richard "Pop-Pop" Moore

Clarence Richard Moore, lovingly known by many as “Dick” or as “Pop-Pop,” passed away peacefully on April 7, 2025, surrounded by the unwavering love of his wife, children and grandchildren. He was 84 years old. Born in Durham, North Carolina, on May 11, 1940, Dick was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. He is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Yvette Moore, who stood faithfully by his side through every chapter of life. Dick is also survived by his son, Edward Moore of New York, and his wife Julie; his daughter, Susan Hickoff of Pennsylvania, and her husband Rick; nine grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind his brothers, Bob Moore of Ocean Isle and Ronnie Moore of Apex, along with many extended family members and friends who were touched by his kind heart and steady presence. Dick was a proud graduate of North Carolina State University and spent much of his career as a successful traffic engineer in Baltimore County, Maryland, and later in Cary, North Carolina. He approached his work with dedication and integrity, always striving to make the roads safer and communities better. A man of many passions, Pop-Pop had a deep love for the Boy Scouts of America. He served as a Scout-Leader for both his son and grandson —guiding generations with his quiet leadership, deep sense of duty, and love for the outdoors. His involvement in scouting reflected his lifelong commitment to mentorship and community. He was also a die-hard Baltimore Ravens fan, never missing a game and always cheering with unwavering loyalty—even from afar. Whether it was through football, scouting, or simply spending time with his family, Pop-Pop poured his heart into the things and people he loved. To his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, he was “Pop-Pop”—a storyteller, a steady hand, and a source of boundless love. Special moments, family traditions, and the joy of being together will forever carry his spirit. Pop-Pop will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, loyalty, and quiet strength will continue to inspire all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to TinyKittens, an organization close to Pop-Pop’s heart, in celebration of his lifelong compassion and gentle spirit. A Mass in Pop-Pops honor will be held 11:00 am August 29, 2025, at St. Andrew The Apostal Catholic Church, 3008 Old Apex Rd, Apex, NC .
