Gilbert Moore Sr. Obituary (1948

Gilbert Moore Sr., age 72 entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, January 27, 2021. Gilbert Moore was born on July 4, 1948 to the late Bishops Nathan and Ada Pearl Moore in Philadelphia, PA. He received his education in the New York City Public school system. After completing his education, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Gilbert was raised in a God-fearing Christian home where his Christian foundation was formed at the New Hope Pentecostal Church of Greater Mount Zion, Inc. under the late founder, Bishop Beulah Counts. When he returned from his military duty he resided in Philadelphia, PA were his father and then later his mother pastored the St. James Pentecostal church. He loved the drums and nothing made him happier than anytime he could serve by playing them during church service. While residing in Philadelphia, Gilbert met and married the love of his life Janie Ginn. In 1989 Gilbert relocated to Bridgeport, CT and for a time served at Faith Gospel Assembly under the leadership of the late Bishops Victor and Sarah Kipping as well as Pentecostal church of Prayer and deliverance under the leadership of the late Bishop Z. Stewart. While living in CT this union was blessed with two wonderful sons Gilbert David and Jeremiah Clifton. Gilbert loved his family and was very proud of his wife and sons. In 2018 Gilbert and his family began attending Faith Revival Center in Bridgeport, CT under the leadership of Bishop James Shannon. Gilbert loved the Lord, his family, his church and his pastor. There was nothing that he would not do to support his Pastor and the ministry. He could be found at the church cleaning and preparing the building for worship. Whatever his hands found to do he did it and he did it with joy. Gilbert loved to laugh and to see others laugh. He would think of jokes to play and then have a look of surprise and innocence on his face when they discovered it. He was the life of every gathering. Gilberts temperament matched his Fourth of July birthday but while his voice was loud and boisterous, he had a soft and generous heart. He loved to work with his hands and as soon as he mastered the skills, he was able to do anything from repairing a car to plumbing and carpentry in a home. Gilbert leaves to cherish his memory, his loving and devoted wife (Janie), 2 sons (Gilbert, Jeremiah) 2 sisters Lauretta (Englewood, NJ), Audrey (Bensalem, PA), a host of nieces, nephews and cousins and 3 god-daughters Latoyah Moore, Latisha Johnson (Te-Te) and April Ginn all of Philadelphia, PA. While he will be greatly missed, we know that "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" 2 Corinthians 5:8 Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 10:00 AM, Faith Revival Center, 600 Hallett St, Bridgeport, CT.
