He served as Committee Chairman of Boy Scout Troop 15 for twelve years and mentored many young men. He loved spending time with his son, to the point of learning to like baseball. Franklin loved to cook for his family and friends. He would spend hours finding a recipe and shopping for the perfect ingredients to make these wonderful meals. Franklin was a man with strength of character. He was generous to a fault and quietly blessed many people without any expectations. He enjoyed traveling with his wife, family and friends. Franklin was preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Jolene Moore. He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Joyce Moore , his son, Shawn Moore, two brothers and a sister. But Franklin had “other” children as well, Ted, Peter, Kevin, Marcus, Andy, Darrell, Oscar, Molly, Crystal, and Haley just to name a few.

In keeping with Franklin’s generous spirit, the family requests donations be made to Trinity Food Pantry, 1329 NW 23rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73106. “A man among men. To his family he was a hero. To his Savior he was a servant.” He will truly be missed.
