  2. Mr. Kim Moore was an avid duck hunter, and in the winter months, he and his wife, Phillis Moore made the small community of Snake Island, Arkansas their second home. The locals fondly remember the Moores hosting the locals for dinner at his A-frame duck club and conversations around the fire pit would stretch on through late hours.

    A successful businessman, Mr. Kim mentored local aspiring entrepreneurs. Rick and Diane Givens, two local taxidermists attribute Mr. Kim’s encouragement to the formation of their studio space in Stuttgart, AR. Rick Givens said, “Mr. Kim was like a wise grandpaw. He had the right advice and believed in me.”

    Mr. Kim was generous with his financial support of the community and hired the local young people to do everything from camouflaging duck blinds to painting pictures of his dogs. With this money the kids went to church camps, year book camps, cheerleading events and other activities. As highly educated people with connections to the University of Arkansas, Mr. Kim and Mrs. Phillis were mentors to the young people in Snake Island, and had encouraged them to pursue a college education, if they so wanted. Joe Givens shared, “Mr. Kim was the first person with an advanced education to really care to spend time with me. He was a big part of me wanting to go to college.”  

    Moore Wings, Mr. Kim’s duck club, was one of the most admired clubs in Snake Island, and there was always a wait list to hunt. Yet, Mr. Kim always had room in a blind for locals like the Givens. Joe Givens said, “When I think of duck hunting, I think of mornings with my Dad and Mr. Kim; carving out time and getting away from TV, phones, and distractions, and just conversing. The true hunter is happy to bag a limit, but what they are really in search of is a good time with others who enjoy the peace of a winter sunrise.” We know Mr. Kim is at peace as he joins several hunting buddies who have gone on to the next hunt.

  6. Kimberly and Michelle, I’m so sorry about the loss of your dad. I spent many hours with him, around the dinner table or breakfast table, asking questions and him telling stories. For over 20 years. I enjoyed it all. I wanted you to know that I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m sorry that Kerry and I were not able to make it to the service. I’ll be thinking of Kim and Phyllis and all of the family members who will miss them this holiday season and beyond. It was so good to see you at Phyllis’s service in June. All my best, Kimberly Dotseth (and Kerry Garnett), San Diego
