Barnes Family Funerals - Ray Neil Moore

Ray had been a resident of Ozark for the last eighteen years. Ray had an outstanding will for life. He loved the outdoors, fishing and working in his yard. He was ever sure that life was his forever and perhaps it really is forever.

He proudly served his country in the United States Air Force serving in South Korea and Germany. He received numerous recognitions for his contribution to his police work in the Milwaukee area, the restaurants that he built where he loved sharing good food with others and his mechanical-trucking expertise. There was hardly anything that Ray could not fix and he will be missed as the “go to man”. Ray is preceded in death by his son, John R. Moore. He is survived by his wife, Rita M. Moore of Ozark; two daughters, Cindy M. McConnell and husband Scott of Mountain, AR and Amy L. White and husband James of Gassville, AR; son David R.
