    Coach Moore was my baseball coach for the 1974 & 75 seasons at NHS. We all had a lot laughs with Coach Moore. He used call us ” Darn Snowbirds” He was also my neighboor when he lived on 9th and Logan in Newton. Will still talk about his famous speech to us after we lost to Mac. On behalf of 75 baseball team we wish our condolences.
