Robert "Robbie" Moore

Peacefully surrounded by his loving family it is with tremendous sadness that the family announces the passing of Robert “Robbie” Moore, age 67 of Sarnia on Friday, January 7th, 2022.

He was the loving companion, best friend and husband of Cheryl Kohut and proud and most loving father of Erin Kameka (James) and Wesley Moore (Leah), and devoted step father of Ashley and Arley (bonus daughters) and cherished Papa of Lenox, Rocklan, Kai, Stevie Joy and Azlan. He was predeceased by his parents Dr. Wesley Moore (1987) and Jean (Garvin) Moore last month.
Robbie was born in Sarnia on May 3, 1954. He attended the University of Michigan for four years on a hockey scholarship where he acquired the NCAA record for most saves by a goaltender in a career. He also went on to play for the University of Western Ontario. He signed with the Philadelphia Flyers in 1978 and played in the NHL and AHL until he moved home to raise his family in Sarnia.
When Robbie moved back to Sarnia, he made a career working at Imperial Oil for over 30 years. He was a proud and incredibly successful hockey coach to many young people in the community where he left a positive impact on people’s lives and met countless lifelong friends along the way.
Robbie was a devoted family man and an avid golfer. He spent his retirement enjoying time with his grandkids, taking trips to Florida, winning almost every match on the golf course, and working on his green thumb. He had a very infectious personality and left a lasting impression on the lives he touched no matter where he was in the world. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and to all who knew him.
