ALBERT LEE MOORE

Albert Lee Moore, Jr. departed this earthly life on Tuesday, November 30th, 2022, at the age of 76. Albert, affectionately called "Junior" by his family, was born to the late Albert Lee Moore, Sr. and Queen Esther Moore in Washington D.C. on July 5th, 1946. Educated in the DC public school system, Albert graduated from Phelps Vocation High School in 1965, majoring in Automotive Mechanics. Albert was always a hard worker, starting his first job at the Washington Post at the early age of 17 years old. He continued working at the Post until he enlisted in the United States Army in 1966. Serving as a First Cook and Baker for the 3rd Army 62nd Chemical and Smoke Generator Company, Albert reached the rank of ES/SP5. After he completed his service, Albert returned to Washington D.C. and resumed working for the Washington Post as a Home Delivery Distributor. He worked his way up, ultimately supervising 17+ carriers, managing recruitment and computerizing the office in 1985. After nearly 20 years, Albert retired from the Post and began working as a Circulation Director for The Journal Newspaper. In 2005, Albert started working for the Examiner, as a Single Copy Manager. On any given day, you could find Albert's staff handing out newspapers on the corners of Washington D.C. -including even his nieces and nephews! The top 3 things Albert loved were the people who meant the most to him, cars and traveling. He loved his family deeply, especially his nieces and nephews, seen through his dedication to dressing up as Santa Claus for nearly every Christmas. Albert held many odd jobs to fulfill his passions, including working at a Ford Dealership and opening his very own mechanic shop. He could often be seen attending car shows across the East Coast and even visited the Race Days in Daytona, Florida. During his time at the Washington Post, he had the opportunity to travel to 5 continents and he continued his travels throughout his life, visiting Jamaica, Brazil, France (his 3 favorites) Mexico, Egypt, Spain, Morocco, Italy, the U.K., Germany, and Portugal. Albert officially retired in 2007, and continued traveling across the United States and rooting for his favorite team, the Washington Redskins. Albert will be missed for his great sense of humor, hardworking mentality and overall loving nature. Albert was preceded in death by his parents Albert Lee Moore, Sr, and Queen Esther Moore, his two brothers James Bernard Moore & Leroy Moore and one sister Janice M. Moore. He leaves to mourn his memory his sister Deanna Strong, Herndon, Virginia, his brother Keith Moore, Washington D.C. (Vickie Fairnot-Moore), a host of nieces and nephews, his longtime companion of 25 years, Carolyn Torsell and many other family members and friends.
