Tim began his teaching career in 1969 as a Social Studies teacher in LaFargeville. He then followed in his parents’ footsteps when he and his wife opened up an Italian restaurant in Fulton for nearly 10 years. Tim returned to the classroom in 1980 at G. Ray Bodley High School where he taught American History, Government and Psychology. He brought a joy for learning and enthusiasm to his classroom every day. He taught students to think for themselves, and took great pleasure watching them succeed after graduation into adulthood. While his “day job” was teaching in the classroom, his real passion was teaching on the wrestling mat. Tim Moore’s coaching career spanned nearly 40 years. His success in Fulton’s JV program is legendary in wrestling circles. He led his teams to a stellar 167-8 dual meet record and won the UE tournament 10 years in a row.

He was inducted into Section 3’s Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2015 and Fulton’s Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2018. His presence would fill up a room. Tim loved his family, wrestling, antiques, the NY Giants, dogs, travel, food and politics.
