Danny Roy Moore (August 9, 1925 – c. 2020) was an American politician who was a conservative Democratic member of the Louisiana State Senate for one term, from 1964 until 1968.[1][2]
Moore was born in Haynesville, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, the son of Capitola Touchstone Moore and Arthur Roy Moore, and brother of Catherine Moore Walker Hansbrough, George Donald Moore and Mary Celia Moore Sawyer. He had two children Danette Moore and Daniel Judson Moore, DDS.
Moore graduated from Homer High School in 1942. He served in World War II aboard a B-24 bomber making raids over Germany. After the war, he received a degree in civil engineering from Louisiana State University, and worked as land surveyor. He was narrowly elected to the state senate in 1964, and focused his efforts there on the creation of Lake Claiborne.[2]
Moore celebrated his 95th birthday in August 2020. He died sometime between then and April 2021, as noted in his son Daniel Judd Moore's obituary.[3][4]
