Dennis P. Moore

Newfields – Dennis P. Moore, 62, of Newfields, passed away peacefully on Friday, October 11, 2024 with family at his side. Born on March 6, 1962 in Norwood, MA a son of the late Donald R. and Marie (Sansone) Moore. Raised in Walpole, MA he graduated from Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School in Franklin, MA. It’s hard to understate the impact Dennis had on so many people’s lives. He embodied the gifts of hospitality and generosity, always looking to invite others in and be a blessing to those around him. He made friends everywhere he went and was the life of every party. Dennis was a long-standing member of New Frontiers Church in Portsmouth, NH. He loved entertaining and welcoming others into his home, treating them like family. In his own words, “I often thought deeply about who to invite, and I’d tell others to invite whoever they thought needed to come. I always wanted to include different people or folks who are new to the church so that they would feel connected. I often struggled to go deep with people, but that’s why I invited everyone. I was the gatherer. I brought people together to go deep with each other, to share with each other, and to love each other. I loved creating opportunities to deepen love and community.” Dennis worked his entire career in the plumbing and heating field. He owned and operated Great Bay Plumbing & Heating for the past 33 years. “This was a big part of my life,” Dennis mentioned in his last days. “I made so many of my closest friends through running my business. I’ve had customers that have turned into family. They’re now like brothers and sisters to me.” He enjoyed mentoring others and training them in his trade, and he was very proud that many of the men that worked for him have gone on to own their own businesses. Dennis was also an avid skier, a “Disney Dad”, a brilliant gardener and a die-hard Patriots fan. As a season ticket holder, he attended hundreds of Patriots games and loved bringing people to their first game. His Super Bowl parties were as legendary as the team’s dynasty. He shared 33 years of marriage with his wife Sharon (Dufour) Moore of Newfields. “There’s so much I love about Sharon. She’s very faithful and she’s a rock for our family. She’s not afraid to speak into the kids’ lives as she nurtured and raised them into who they are today. I couldn’t have done any of this without her.” Together they built a wonderful home and family, including three children whom Dennis considered to be three miracles: his three most treasured gifts from God. Surviving family members include his children, Isaac Moore of Somersworth, NH, Olivia Moore of Medford, MA and Alyson Moore of Newfields, NH; brothers, Gary Moore of Bonita Springs, FL, Steve Moore and his wife Beverly of Hampton and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers, Robert and Ricky Moore.
