Franklin J Moore

Jay Moore died on October 18, 2022, from pneumonia. Jay had been suffering from frontal-temporal lobe dementia for several years. Born in 1944, Jay was raised in the Chicago area and attended Lawrence University in Wisconsin, where he met his beloved wife, Marilyn. Before moving to Salida, Jay and Marilyn lived in Denver for many years, where he practiced geriatric medicine, and where they raised two girls, Anne and Sarah. Jay loved the mountains, and he camped, climbed, hiked, and backpacked for most of his life. After retirement, Jay finished climbing all of Colorado’s fourteeners. He became a certified beer judge and tasted and rated more than 4,000 beers on the RateBeer website. Jay was a Salida City Councilman for eight years representing the Third Ward, and he later served on the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District, the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and the Arkansas Basin Roundtable. He will be greatly missed by Marilyn, Sarah and her husband Gabe (Salida), and Anne and her husband Arlo (Austin, Texas).
