Terry Michael Moore, 73, a resident of Silver City, NM peacefully passed away Saturday, February 17, 2024.  He was born in Connecticut to George and Marian Moore on April 26, 1950.

Terry was preceded in death by his parents and older brother, George and step sister Patricia.  He is survived by his brother, Thomas (Marilyn) Moore of CT; sister, Kathy (Thomas) Szwejkowski of FL; step mother Mary Moore of CT and step-sisters, Penny (Ron) and Susan both of FL; Elizabeth from North Carolina and Lori from California.

Terry lived most of his life in Connecticut.  He was a Bunnell graduate (1969), a licensed mortician and skilled insurance agent.  He graduated from the Connecticut School of Broadcasting and had a radio show on WICC called “Opportunity Knocks” which shared ideas and good decisions for starting a business.  He enjoyed traveling throughout our country and when visiting New Mexico, he realized the beauty and wonders of the area AND the friends he made created a special place for him.  He stayed and lived there for more than 20 years.

Terry will be greatly missed by his nephews who grew up sharing in his adventurous life style, humor and loving companionship.  They enjoyed numerous outings and will treasure those boyhood and “growing up” memories with their very special “Uncle Terry”.

He leaves behind a most caring group of friends in Silver City.  Their continual support and help made Terry’s new home in New Mexico possible.  They became his second family who also enjoyed his adventurous traits.  Terry’s kindness and presence will be missed by family and so many friends.  There is always a smile and story to share when thinking of Terry.

A private service planned by his friends will be held in the beautiful desert surroundings near Silver City.  A private family service will be held in Stratford, CT.

In memory of Terry, friends and family may make a donation to a charity of their choice.

Rest in Peace Terry………. till we meet again.
