(Historic) Chester Wynn Moore, Sr.
From Loren Coleman
Chester Wynn Moore, Sr. October 3, 1943 – December 27, 2014 Sr.
Chester Moore Jr., wildlife writer and author of Boogers, Bears, Birds and Beasts: Cryptozoology in the American South, made this announcement of the death of Chester Moore Sr., via his personal Facebook page:
“Tonight [Saturday, December 27, 2014] my father passed away of natural causes while on a hunting trip with me near Freer. Please pray for my mom and my daughter Faith who will not understand. He was the most loving father a son could have.”
Moore Sr. did appear with his son on Is It Real? on the National Geographic Channel in 2005, as himself, in a Bigfoot hunting episode. I met Moore Sr. at cryptozoology conferences. He truly was supportive of the pursuit of the topic by his son, and very involved in the pursuits.
