Paul Moore Obituary

As just a young boy...with my father every Thurs night!
You would find us at the Columbia Speedway. The best racing ever...and my all time favorite was that yellow with red #87 65 Chevelle. The driver Mr. Bud Moore.
Highlights of my childhood with my father. I lost my father a few years back, and I've so enjoyed the wonderful memories of those early days of racing and the great men that made it all happen.

remembered by

Paul Bud Moore was an outstanding mentor, neighbor and family friend. From the age of 3 years old I always recalled him pulling out his candy apple red Chevy Nova II from the garage across the street from my home on 7 Isabella Street and letting me and the other neighborhood kids get a glimpse of him at work. He and his family were a part of my village in downtown Charleston and I am a better person from my association with them.

I cannot remember a time when we talked or shared some time together that he did not put a smile on my face. I am proud to have known him. He was a great man. rip Bud

Ida, we are sorry for your loss, Bud was a great friend, we had a lot of good times together with you and Bud. Take care and if you need us, please let us know. He will surely be missed by all!

I always looked forward to seeing Bud at events like Mr. J. B. Day's annual birthday party for Raymond Parks and forever grateful of his support for our Columbia Speedway festivals. He was a great all around friend and ambassador for the preservation of racing history.

Ida, so sorry for your loss...always will remember times at West Shore with our informal contest of best/coolest Hawaiian shirt that Sunday and our talks about Nascar..will keep you in my thoughts and prayers

Ida
So sorry to hear that Bud has passed. I don't have the words to express my sorry. Bud and yourself were great neighbors to us when I lived at home on Sunnyside. The motorcycle I bought from Bud has a special place in my life and memories. Bud was such a pleasant person I have all ways considered myself lucky to have known him. My wife had met him in the last ten years or so just by chance as he had bought perscriptions from her place of employment in Mt. Pleasant. She had recognized the name from stories she had heard from me. She had found Bud to be a very likable customer and made it a point to serve him herself as he would al ways ask her about me. Please know that you will be in our prayers and that Bud has and will all ways be a bright spot in my life.

Ida and Sherry, I know Bud enjoyed the life he lived doing the things he enjoyed and loved and especially having the two of you by his side all the way with lots of love. God Bless You.

What can I say - our annual fall trip to Charlotte just won't be the same now - camping beside Bud's place & having him "drop by" to pass the time often made our trips to the south much more interesting. His stories & southern hospitality just made us feel like we were becoming "part of something" - a great person who will be missed by all - not the least by his "Canadian" friends who have enjoyed his company for many years now. Our condolences to Ida & Sherry - and God Speed to L'ill Bud - we'll raise a jar for you in October for sure.

Remember all the good times we had at the Nascar races.
I sold Grand National Scene which became Winston Cup and Than Nascar Scene.
Rest in Peace and GOD Bless.

I met Bud while playing music back in the late 60's. He would always come out to hear the band. He truly loved his music ! What a nice guy, always a smie on his face. So sorry we lost him so soon.

Little Bud... Our sincere thoughts and prayers to the family. What can be said here about a true "southern gentleman". Your legacy lives on in celebration of your life.Live on Little Bud...we"ll celebrate again....Forever!!!

Dear IDA: I am deeply saddened to read of Bud's passing. I'm glad I had an opportunity to talk to him not too long ago. You and the family are in our prayers.

I met Paul in Talladega in the May 1993 at a collectible show where I was set up selling little die cast cars. I didn't have any of him, but he found one from another dealer purchased it, then autographed it to me and told me to keep up the my hard work. We became instant friends and worked together of fighting against bootleg and unauthorized collectibles.
We had many things and people in common. Louise Smith, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jake Elder and many others. I learned a lot from him and will continue the fight against illegal collectibles. Thank You for being my friend Paul. Prayers for Ida and Sherry

Godspeed Paul "Lil Bud" Moore

Bud will always be in my heart and soul he taught me so much and guided me in business. Without Bud I would never gone near as far in the racing business. God knows how much I loved him and how much he meant to me and my family. God Bless to Ida and Sherry you were so blessed to to have had him as a husband and Dad.

Bud Moore was a friend we worked together many times and he will be missed by me and many others too!

Bud, Ida and Sherry are dear family friends. Bud and my dad, Humpy Wheeler, go back to his days as one of the greatest NASCAR short track drivers ever. He was a sincerely kind and wonderful person who adored his wife and daughter and was very proud of both of them. He was exceptionally good at reaching out and keeping in touch with his friends and will be sorely missed. Much love and prayers for Ida and Sherry.

A life well done, certainly paid forward, and a worthy warrior in sickness, may we find a cure thanks to yours and your daughters determination! There is peace on the other side!
