CARROLL LEONARD MOORE, affectionately known as Bobba/Bob, was born in Sussex County on November 22, 1945, to the late Oliver "Venable" Moore and Effie Mae Harrison Moore.

Bob was a lifelong resident of Sussex County, educated in the public school system, and during his youth confessed Christ as his personal Saviour and was baptized at the New Hope Baptist Church.

As a young adult, Bob began working at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company and remained employed there until retiring in November 2007.  He proudly told anyone that asked that he retired from the shipyard after 43 years and 9 months of service at age 62.  Bob loved his coworkers at the shipyard accumulating friendships that lasted beyond his time of employment.  He also loved his neighbors and friends in the Pocahontas community of Wakefield where he has resided since a teenager.  More than anything else, he loved his family and spent quality time with family, extended family, and friends.  He was a devoted son, brother, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Cousin, and more.

Bob entered into eternal peace on Saturday, July 8, 2023, at Bon Secours - Southside Regional Medical Center.  He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Carol Johnson, and brothers James Oliver, Jimmy Hoover, and Charlie Nehemiah.
