Dave Moore was born February 25, 1948, in California. Throughout his years Dave enjoyed riding his Indian motorcycle and found his love of music playing in bands which would eventually inspire his children to make music of their own. He also coached little league, sharing that love of baseball with his oldest son. Dave found the greatest joy in the simple things in life; a Ram's win, the Giants beating the Dodgers and a cold whiskey coke. The one thing he loved most in this world though, was his kids. If you ask anyone, they will tell you how proud he was to be their “Pops”.
