He then proceeded to Whittier College where he earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1956. He completed his education at Loyola School of Law earning his law degree and passing the California Bar Exam in 1963. He married Denyce Robertson on August 1, 1959 and together they had four sons, Darrell (Barbara), Dennis (Diane), Darren (Joey) and Douglas (Lana). Of all of life's accomplishments he was most proud of nine grandchildren: Kyle, Amanda, Caitlin, Ryan, Trevor, Spencer, Emily, Natalie and Connor. Additionally he is survived by Stepdaughter Krista Griggs and her daughter Anna. Darrell served briefly in both the United States Navy and t he United States Coast Guard. He worked his way through law school at night by working at the California Youth Authority as a counselor and as a probation officer with the County of Los Angeles. He practiced law primarily in the Pomona and Citrus courthouses representing the criminally accused. He was fond of saying that the best time he had in court was cross-examining police officers and putting the prosecutor to his proof. He actively practiced law from 1963 until his retirement in 1990. Darrell was ab le to realize a life's dream when he had the opportunity to travel to Ireland with Denyce, Douglas and Lana. His fondest memory was sharing a pint of Guinness with Douglas at a real Irish pub. He spent his retirement years enjoyably pursuing his hobby of collecting political campaign buttons and to the dispensing of his "grandfatherly advice" to his sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren and to "all" others within earshot. His love, counsel and friendship will be sorely missed. Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, December 28 at Todd Memorial Chapel, Pomona.

Notes:

David E. Moore Follows Wife to Sepulcher Within Year.
Death, within a year after the passing of his wife, last Monday called David E. Moore, one of Chino's most loved pioneers, to his final rest at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ralph C. Homan. Mr. Moore had not been well for more than a year and the death of his helpmate for 61 years during the early part of this year created in him the spirit of restlessness and an unwillingness to combat the final summons longer. His death was not unforeseen then when he took ill again a few days before his demise.
Mr. Moore was a native of New York, born April 24, 1850, and at the age of two years went with his parents to Iowa where the family farmed. He grew to young manhood in that state and on March 14, 1871, was married to Mercy Malora Banning at what is now Preston, Jackson county, Iowa. Herre the couple lived until the fall of that year when Mr. Moore disposed of his blacksmith business and moved to Green county, Iowa, where he engaged in farming until 1873. In that year he sold his Iowa farm and joined his brother in a westward trek to Kansas, homesteading in Smith county. Grasshoppers and drought caused them to forsake the homestead and they purchased 160 acres in Phillips county, near what is now the town of Kerwin. On this place the family remained for 17 years, selling out in 1892 and coming to California.
The first two years after coming to this state were spent in Pomona but with the opening of the sugar factory here for its second season, Mr. and Mrs. Moore moved with their family to Chino. This city has since been their home, the family circle being broken by the death of Mrs. Moore last May.
To Mr. and Mrs. Moore were born four children: Herbert, who died in infancy; Walter M. of Laguna Beach, Don E. and Mrs. Alma Moore Homan of Chino. The three children and five grand-children survive.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the M. E. church, Rev. Elmer S. Andersen officiating. Burial was in Pomona cemetery. Glenn A. Henry of Richardson & Henry Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements."

David married Mercy Malora Banning on 14 Mar 1871 in Jackson County, Iowa, USA. Mercy (daughter of Nelson Banning and Susan Malora Murray) was born on 23 Jul 1849 in Preston, Iowa, USA; died on 14 May 1932 in Chino, California, USA; was buried in Pomona Cemetery and Mauseleum, Pomona, Los Angeles County, California, United States.
