In
Memoriam
’52
Maxie Boyd Moore Jr.
, a former professional pilot,
passed away on June 26, 2014, in Pullman, Wash. He
was 86.
A native of Birmingham, Moore enlisted in the Alabama
Air National Guard to pursue his dream of flying while
enrolled as a business major at Birmingham-Southern.
After he graduated from BSC, he attended pilot training—
soloing in 1953—and was stationed for a time at Vance
AFB in Oklahoma.
He then worked for Hayes Aircraft Corp. in Birmingham
until his guard unit was called to active service in 1961
as part of the U.S. response to the Soviet construction of
the Berlin Wall. Moore served as base operations officer
at Dreux Air Base near Paris, flying a C-47 on resupply
missions to overcome the Soviet blockade of West Berlin. He received the National
Emergency Service Medal from the governor of Alabama for his service overseas.
In 1963, Moore was hired as a corporate pilot for Southern Natural Gas in
Birmingham, rising rapidly to the position of director of aviation. He was elected to the
board of directors of the National Business Aircraft Association in 1980. His retirement
in 1989 marked a distinguished career that encompassed flying a wide variety of aircraft,
including the C-47, Cessna Citation, and Falcon 10, 20, and 50 corporate jets.
He and his wife,
Sarah LeSueur Moore ’49
, were active in Birmingham’s Huffman
United Methodist Church. He served on the church board and as chair of the building
committee among many other church activities. They moved to Pullman in 2005 to
be closer to family and became involved in the community through volunteer work at
Pullman Regional Hospital.
“The loyalty to Birmingham-Southern shown by he and his wife over the years has
been a source of inspiration to many,” said Dr. Neal Berte, BSC president emeritus.
“Max came to a lot of college events over the years, including many basketball games.”
Moore is survived by his wife; by his son,
Dr. Barry Moore ’75
of Pullman; and by
four grandchildren.
