James “Jimmy” Moore was born and raised in Greensboro, Georgia by his parents Jack and Myrtle and with his two siblings. He recalls birthdays being really special as his mother would make a cake and holidays would mean getting together with family.



Upon graduating high school, Jimmy joined the Army where he served as a Topographic Surveyor in Korea and the US for three years. He would continue on as a Surveyor and Desk Worker for 20 years upon leaving the Army, but his time in the Korean mountains was both his favorite landscape to work with and highlight of his career.

Jimmy’s proudest achievement, however, is having the joy of raising his two children, Leigh and Don, with his beloved wife, Cheri. His family is the most important thing for him, and he loves visiting his family, including his grandchildren, Logan, Hayden and John David.

Jimmy was an active member of his church, First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, having served as an Elder, and he still spends many hours reading his Bible. His favorite hobbies included hunting and fishing, but anything that involved spending time with family, such as cooking and traveling, was his kind of fun.

Jimmy has been a resident at Legacy Village at Park Regency since December 2024. Always having been active, he loves joining in for exercise and going to physical therapy.
