James Dickinson Moore, 70, Died; Staples Class of 1970, 6th Generation Texan

James Dickinson Moore, 70, beloved husband, father and grandfather, attorney and philanthropist, passed away peacefully on February 6, 2022 at his home in Tulsa after a brief illness.

A sixth-generation Texan born in Ballinger, Texas on January 27, 1952 to Eloise Dickinson Moore and Lawrence Jack Moore, Jim lived in Houston, Texas for most of his childhood and attended Bellaire High School in Houston for his freshman through junior year. Jim moved with his family to Connecticut in 1969 and graduated from Staples High School in Westport, Connecticut in 1970. Jim attended the University of Texas at Austin and then transferred to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado, from which he graduated in 1974. Jim then attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where he earned his law degree and met the love of his life, Cathy.

Jim practiced law for 45 years and was a member of the Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado State Bar Associations. Jim began his law practice as general counsel for an oil and gas company in Breckenridge, Texas. In 1984, Jim and Cathy moved to Tulsa, where Jim continued his corporate law practice and later transitioned to a successful career in commercial litigation. Jim and Cathy raised their two daughters, Jackie and Elizabeth, in Tulsa. Jim lived in Tulsa longer than anywhere else in his life and embraced all things Oklahoman, including the University of Oklahoma and the University of Tulsa. With Cathy, a native Tulsan, Jim supported many of Oklahoma's most prominent charitable organizations.

Jim particularly enjoyed and supported First Tee, a youth development organization focused on building children's confidence and character through the game of golf, for 20 years, and served as the presenting sponsor for several years. Jim himself was an avid golfer, belonging to Southern Hills Country Club for 29 years and winning the Club's prestigious Four Ball Tournament. Jim, who loved an active lifestyle and the outdoors, also enjoyed running, skiing, cycling, and hiking.

Jim was a true friend, a beautiful spirit, and a kind and gentle man devoted to his family. Always striving to lift up those around him, he never expected anything in return. Jim was a thoughtful and measured counselor, a learned historian, enjoyed sharing his sense of humor with others, and embodied a warm, humble, and generous presence that will be missed by all who knew him.

Along with his friends, those who mourn his passing include his wife of 42 years, Cathryn Mayo Moore; her sister, Marcia Mayo; his daughter, Jacqueline Furlow and her husband, John; his daughter, Elizabeth Moore and her fiancé, Arthur Stewart; his sister, Jane Ellen Moore Horner and her husband, John; his two grandchildren, Robert Furlow and Cathryn Furlow; and many cousins, nieces and nephews, who loved him dearly.

In lieu of flowers, Jim's family requests with gratitude that contributions in Jim's memory be directed to Iron Gate, Tulsa's local organization dedicated to feeding the hungry, located at 501 West Archer Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.

Kim Hudson of Your Family Caregivers will hold a special place in the family members' hearts.
