Obituaries

Philip G. Moore, 90, of Covington, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2025. Born on June 18, 1935, in Covington to the late Edward and Marie Moore, Philip was a man known for his quick wit, sarcasm, and unforgettable one-liners. His sense of humor was cherished by all who knew him.

Philip dedicated much of his life working in horse racing, where his career took him to some remarkable places—including sharing the same room with figures such as Queen Elizabeth, President John F. Kennedy, and Pete Rose. But no matter how impressive the company, Philip remained grounded in what mattered most to him: his family, his friends, and a good laugh.

He is survived by his beloved son Andy Moore; his brother Morgan Moore; and his sister-in-law Barbara Moore. Philip was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife Therese Moore (née Arens); his son Philip Moore; sisters Margie Molony, Marie Nieman, and Fern Schweer; and brothers Roger Moore, John Moore, Thomas (Shelley) Moore, and Edward Moore III.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, July 5, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at St. Henry Catholic Church, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. A reception will immediately follow at the church.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Philip’s memory to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or St. Henry Catholic Church.

Philip’s legacy lives on in the laughter he inspired and the love he shared. He will be deeply missed.
