Funeral services were held last week for a Carroll Graduate and military veteran, Richard Moore.
Services for Mr. Moore were held Friday, March 22, 2024, at McFarland Funeral Companies on Berg Jones Lane for Richard Bondaire Moore, known affectionately to many as “Buddy.”
Mr. Moore passed away on March 16, 2024, at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy marked by love, service, and laughter.
Born on September 20, 1951, in Wisner, Louisiana, to the late Arcadia Moore and Arthur Lee Price, “Buddy” was raised in Monroe, Louisiana. He was a proud graduate of Carroll High School, a defining moment of his youth that paved the way for a life filled with dedication and service.
On his 18th birthday, he married the love of his life, Rosie Mary Moore, embarking on a journey of love and partnership that would last a lifetime.
Buddy gave honorable service in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, where he earned medals recognizing his courage and dedication. His return home marked the beginning of a life filled with joy, as he and Rosie built their family, welcoming seven children who would become the center of their world.
Known for his sharp wit, love of playing dominoes, and the joy he found in the company of family and friends, Buddy’s presence was a source of laughter and happiness for those around him. His penchant for joking around made every gathering brighter, bringing light to even the darkest of days.
Those who preceded him in death were his mother, Arcadia Moore, and four brothers, Ted, Kenneth, Danny, Christopher Moore, and Arthur Price, Jr., Buddy’s memory will be cherished and kept alive by his loving wife, Rosie; his father, Arthur Price of New Orleans, Louisiana; his brothers, Kerry, Earl, Maurice, Ray, and Cedric Price; his seven children, Sharon, Lisa, Malow, Chaketha, Detrick, Camisha, and Laquan; twelve grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and numerous nephews, nieces, other relatives, and friends.
Last week’s service was a testament to the impact Buddy had on those around him.
