James "Buddy" Moore, son of the late James Tallie Moore and Virginia Cheatham Moore, was born June 24, 1941 in Marion County, Kentucky.

Buddy Moore came to Campbellsville when he was 19 years old to begin his dream by opening his very own shoe store, "Moore's Shoe Shop". He was one of the most successful "Red Wing" dealers in this part of the United States and was awarded many certificates for "Outstanding Salesmanship". He had an outstanding talent for orthopedic work and shoe repair and loved what he did. On March 4th, he celebrated 60 years of business in the same location at 103 South Central Avenue in Campbellsville, Kentucky. He said many times that God left him on this Earth to help people be able to walk straight.

A Proclamation was made by the County Judge Executive Barry Smith declaring March 4th "Buddy Moore Day".

As a young man, he was instrumental in establishing the "Sea-ville Divers". He went on to be honored as an Honorary Fire-Rescue Chief by Mayor Tony Young in December 2018.

He was a faithful member of The First United Methodist Church where he served on many committees including: Chairman of Trustees, Finance Committee & Administrative Board.

One of his most cherished moments was when he won the Campbellsville Country Club Duffers Golf Tournament where he was a member for 50 plus years.

He was a dedicated leader of a local Boys Scouts of America troop for many years.

He was a member of the Taylor County Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association. He was a loving husband, father & grandfather and a faithful friend to so many.

Buddy Moore lived life to the fullest!
