Bob loved the sport of basketball, voted most outstanding player at Washington High School in 1948 and 1949. He went on to play for both Hanover and the U.S. navy. An injury may have taken him out of the game early; however, Bob’s passion for the sport never faded. Friends may view his online guestbook at www.harrywmoore.com
