David M. Moore

Personal life David Moore married Ida Shaw in 1957, with whom he had two sons; Wayne, born in 1961, and Lloyd, born in 1969. Upon returning from the USA in 1961, David and Ida resided in Leicester, until 1969, when they moved to Reading. Following his retirement, David Moore continued to travel widely, often accompanied by Ida, and counted the USA, Spain and The Isles of Wight and Man as personal favourites. He continued to support ex-colleagues and students at Reading University and further afield for many years, and remained a singularly erudite and compelling writer until late in life, with a wide range of opinions on current affairs. Later grandchildren expanded Moore's family further, comprising Alexander, Nicholas, Katharine, Adam and Rianna. Ida died in 2022, having been diagnosed with Alzheimers in later life.
