His career started in London, England. He married Marion in 1969 and emigrated to Canada in 1970. He and Marion then had two children, Fiona and Richard.
Des Moore’s career as an Engineer included a variety of projects including ski lift foundations, ferry terminal ramps, reaction ferries and the 2010 Olympic ski jumps. He always loved an Engineering challenge and sketched out designs for all sorts of contraptions.
Post-retirement, Des enjoyed 20+ years of good health, golf, playing Bridge, sailing, and guitar lessons. He loved puttering on his sailboat and designing/building kayaks in his garage. He is survived by his wife, son, and daughter and by his good friends of many years.
He wrote his own epitaph:
I have lived here
Surely one will remember me
I have died here
Surely one will grieve
I have loved here
Surely one has loved me
Will one man bow his head
As I quietly take my leave?
