Cannelton, Indiana Charlie R. Moore, Jr., 87, passed away on January 22, 2023 at Brickyard Healthcare in Tell City. He was born in Chicopee, Georgia on October 1, 1935 to Charlie R. and Martha (Mann) Moore. Charlie moved to Cannelton at the age of nine. After graduating from Cannelton High School in 1953, where he was involved in the choir and football, he attended Butler University in Indianapolis. Two years later, Charlie returned home to marry the love of his life, Jeannine Huber. A self-professed "jack of all trades", early on, he did some teaching in Hancock County and had managed Bedford Nugent Sand and Gravel in Henderson, Kentucky. Charlie wanted his young family to have a valuable upbringing , so he moved the family back to his beloved Cannelton, where he became an active member in the community. He became heavily involved in the Jaycees, working to keep the Cannorama returning year after year, helped in the development of Can-Do Apartments and was a lector at St. Michael Catholic Church. Charlie was also politically active and also had served as the Troy Township Assessor. Charlie loved to sing and often sang at housewarmings and events like the dedication of the Lincoln Trail Memorial Bridge, the first linking of Cannelton to Hawesville, Kentucky. He and Jeannine owned and operated Ellee Vault Company, and later buying "Pie's Place" which became "Moore's Tavern". In 1990, the family moved to Florida where Charlie and Jeannine managed a series of hotels. Lastly, he looked forward to going to work as a Walmart greeter, giving him a reason to talk with everyone he met. It provided him the flexibility to move to several different places before returning, as always, to Cannelton. Surviving are his children, Greg Moore (Julie), St. Petersburg, FL, D.
