Daniel K. Moore
1946-July 18, 2008
Visalia, California

Daniel K. Moore Jr. of Visalia, who grew up in Atherton and attended local schools, died July 18 of complications from brain cancer.

Mr. Moore was born in Beaver, Pennsylvania. He attended Menlo School and graduated from Menlo-Atherton High School. A graduate of Stanford University, he earned his MBA at the University of Southern California. While at Stanford, he played on the varsity golf team and was a member of Theta Chi fraternity. In 1972 he and his wife, Lynn, were married at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church

After college, he worked for Castle & Cook for 15 years, living in San Mateo. He served as an executive for a number of companies, most recently as vice president of sales and marketing for Billiou's in Porterville, California. Mr. Moore was an avid golfer, and enthusiastic 49er fan, say family members. His competitive spirit, outgoing personality, self confidence and work ethic will be greatly missed, they say.

Survivors include his wife of 36 years, Lynn; two sons, Jeff Moore of Portland, Oregon, and John Gooch of Garner, North Carolina; his mother, Eleanor Moore of Atherton; sisters Eleanor Kuykendall of Atlanta, Patricia Silversher of Glendale, and Carol Moore of Atherton; brother David Moore of Lee's Summit, Montana; and two grandchildren.
