Since our last newsletter, John
Moore, the chairman of the CUPS board, lost his
courageous battle with neuroendocrine tumors,
dying peacefully at his Austin, TX home on April
2, 2014. John was a man of great faith and an
extremely passionate leader of the CUPS board. His
contributions and presence on the board will be
greatly missed.

| John Allen
Moore |
John was
born on March 30, 1948 in Danville, Pennsylvania
to the late Isaac and Jane Allen Moore. He was
raised in Lexington, Kentucky and graduated from
the University of Kentucky. John was a licensed
professional engineer with a broad range of
expertise in the power industry. He was a
well-respected member of numerous professional
organizations and made significant contributions
to the energy marketplace throughout his
career.
John was a very devoted family
man and often spoke with great pride about his
children and grandchildren. He was never too busy
to lend a helping hand and made the world a better
place. His passion for helping others took on the
form of serving with CUPS on mission trips which
eventually led to his becoming chairman of its
board of directors. As its chairman, John brought
compassion and enthusiasm to his role in leading
the board as it struggled with the effects that
fear over drug violence has had on CUPS and its
ministry to our friends and neighbors in Mexico.
John will be remembered for his leadership and all
the good he accomplished in his
lifetime.
Many of you have already
made memorial contributions to CUPS in John's name
and we thank you for honoring John in this way. To
further honor John, we plan to use the funds given
in his name to rebuild a classroom in Mano De
Leon, Mexico. In order to reach this goal, we need
to double the amount already given. If you feel
led to support this effort to rebuild the
classroom, you can donate to CUPS in John's honor
by clicking here or mail CUPS a check
to the address below. Please be sure to specify
that the donation is for the John Moore Memorial
fund.
