George Thomas Moore of Wheeling was in his 80s when he discovered his favorite job was working as a greeter at the local Kmart store, his daughter said. “He just loved people. That was the job he loved the best,” said his daughter Lynn Sieroslawski, who added her father was grand marshal of the village’s 4th of July parade in the 1990s. Mr. Moore, 93, died Wednesday, March 13, in Lexington Health Care in Wheeling. Mr. Moore was born in Evanston and raised in Wheeling. During the late 1920s he served in the National Guard. In 1927 he married his wife of 74 years, Adeline. In the 1940s and 1950s, he worked at Evanston’s water-treatment plant. Later he drove a truck for a construction company in Wheeling. He worked more than 10 years as a security guard at Wheeling Bank and at Corus Bank in Wheeling. He worked several years at Kmart before retiring in the mid-1980s. Besides his wife and daughter, he is survived by a son, William; two more daughters, Patricia Morrison and Cathy Franz; 15 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday in St. John Lutheran Church, 3020 Milwaukee Ave., Northbrook.
