ALTON ---- Thomas “Tommy” Michael Moore, 67, of Alton, New Hampshire died on Friday, December 29, 2023 at Portsmouth Regional Hospital after a long illness.
He was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts on December 12, 1956 to the late Nancy C. (Sartini) Moore and William “Bill” L. Moore.
He was the second son of the eventual ten Moore children. Thomas attended Chelsea High School then Cardinal Cushing Academy before joining the United States Marine Corps where he dutifully served until 1979. His service took him around the world where he stayed in touch with family by sending letters in his beautiful penmanship.
The Moore family left Massachusetts in 1974 and made their home in Alton, NH. Tommy found fulfillment in living and working on the family farm. His love of nature, animals and hard work was obvious to those who knew him well. He was a natural “Pied Piper” with the farm animals.
Tommy was quick witted, a loyal brother and son, a friend to many and always willing to help a neighbor. To know Tommy was to love him.
Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, Nancy and Bill Moore and his brothers Billy Moore and Patrick Moore. He is survived by his children Megan Moore and Thomas Moore, his siblings Michelle (Charlie) Sherman, Linda (the late Domenic) DiRosa, John Moore, Kim (Harry) Gordon, Nancy Moore (Deb Allison), Stacey (Virgil) Macdonald, and Allison (James) Brown, many nieces, nephews and grandnieces and nephews who he loved dearly.
