Re: [Oe List ...] Charles Moore Memorial
We spoke briefly with Pat Moore last night. She and her two sons, Guy and Steve will be at the memorial service on Saturday. In speaking with William Renfro, son in law to Barbara, the service will have opportunity for statements about Charles to be made. At this point we know that Sarah Buss, Mary Hampton, the McCabes and Holcombes will be there. Renfro suggested we stand as a group while one of us makes a comment. If others are planning to be there please let me know. We are planning to give a printed copy of our remarks (ICA & OE list serves) about Charles to Pat and Barbara. I have assembled (first run) the comments from our list serves. Please read and edit your comments if needed. If other comments have been made that I missed, or if you wish to add one, please forward it to me. Make it quick because I will try to make a final copy and dress it up a bit Saturday morning. The comments I have so far are attached in MSWord document form. I can also send it in Mac Pages or PDF. The Service will be at 2:00 PM, Faith Presbyterian Church, 1314 E Oltorf St, Austin, TX, this Saturday, July 12. George Holcombe 14900 Yellowleaf Tr.

Dear Friends, As you gather together to celebrate the birth, life and death of our colleague Charles, please know that I am standing with you as you speak. I will remember him as he stood and shared his experience of the Mountain of Car through the story of the old man on the airplane. Perhaps that, among the many story that have been shared about Charles, is a common memory of his life. with love and gratitude for our colleague, Charles, who has brought a critical conversation to the table, ....

Thanks, George, for pulling this together and for representing those of us who will not be physically present. Now here's my two cents worth: Charles Moore was, as many have attested, good at confronting people with decisive questions that affected their lives. Well, hes done it again. His death surprised us all. And when were surprised, were up against Mystery, another name for which is God. Its difficult now as always to affirm that ultimate unknown as Father. Trying to understand or explain Charles death is really beside the point. Together, though scattered, we've mourned and celebrated the unique and unrepeatable life of one who influenced so many of us. And in honoring him we've once again manifested John Donnes insight: No one is an island entire of itself; every one is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less It seems we are the less with Charles gone. And the bell tolls for us all. John Epps At 04:28 AM 7/10/2014, George Holcombe via Dialogue wrote:
