Bobby Duane Moore

Bobby Duane Moore was born on December 16, 1944 in Austin, Texas to Maxie Haram and Melba Faye Philip Moore. He graduated from Travis High School and enrolled at University of Texas. Later, he worked for the Texas Highway Department drafting new roads. In 1970, Bobby opened Longhorn Carpet Distributors, and in 1975, his dad, Maxie Hiram, joined him. They won a few National Awards for most sales, two from Torkett and one from Concrest. He was proud of his heritage from Cherokee Indian and Mayflower descendants. He supported various charities such as Cal Farley’s, who provides programs to strengthen families and support the overall development of children, The National Wildlife Assoc., The Veterans of Foreign Wars, St. Labre Indian School, St. Joseph Indian School, and American Cancer Society. He loved Longhorn Sports.
