At the age 32, Weldon took a job at Central Foundry Division of General Motors where he spent most of his career in the auto industry. It was there that he met the love of his life, Ruth. They were married in 1969. They both loved golfing and enjoyed many great times on the golf courses around the U.S. He loved working crossword puzzles and studying the Bible. In 1989, they moved to Columbia, TN as Ruth became part of Saturn, General Motors, and he transferred to Saginaw Delphi Plant in Alabama where he retired in 1992 after 25 years with General Motors Corporation.

Moore and his wife faithfully shepherded one of the largest church ministry efforts, There Is Room in The Inn, an outreach effort providing shelter, food, coats, gifts, and financial resources to the unhoused population in our city during the holiday season. That outreach effort blessed hundreds of people and demonstrated how faith in God can provide the resources we need to make a difference. Bro.
