Gordon Charles ‘Gordy’ Moore, age 74, formerly of North Platte, NE, passed away at his home in Lincoln, NE, on Thursday, February 11, 2016.

Gordy was born April 16, 1941 to Paul V. and Mary Louise Copley Moore at Culbertson, NE where he grew up. Gordy graduated from Culbertson High School in 1958 then joined the U.S. Navy.

After serving 4 years and 3 days in the military, Gordy was honorably discharged. He then returned to Nebraska and trained to become a Journeyman Bricklayer.

On December 24, 1966, Gordy married Joyce Ann Huffman in North Platte where they made their home and raised three children. Gordy worked as a bricklayer most of his life and took great pride in his work. He also worked at the U.S. Post Office later in life for 18 years, until he retired in 2012. Even as he worked at the Post Office, he continued his passion of bricklaying when his skills were needed.

After living in North Platte for 40 years, he and Joyce moved to Lincoln in 2015 to be closer to their children. Gordy liked pitching horseshoes, golfing, watching sports and old westerns, relaxing at home, and spending time with close friends and family.
