Dr. Robert “Bobby” Moore was many things to many people.

The teacher, diplomat, public servant, mentor, raconteur and audacious Anglican passed away last week at his Ottawa home after a lengthy illness. He would have celebrated his 84th birthday on November 26.

Moore taught mainly History, Latin and Scripture.

“Bobby was an exceptional man blessed with intellect, wit and remarkable communication skills – both written and spoken,” said Harris, a former UWI vice-chancellor. “As a student at QC, I interacted with him in honing my debating skills. His ideas and vision lifted us beyond the somewhat parochial limits of Guyana to the wider world. He contributed to my being bold in expressing my ideas even when they were controversial, an attribute that served me well in life. As a university student, I followed his career in the United Nations and diplomatic corps and these served as an inspiration for me and doubtless many others.”
