It sounds like John E. Moulton was a truly remarkable person who touched many lives. Born on August 2, 1965, he clearly had a vibrant spirit and a wide range of passions. From his early days as an altar boy after his first communion, serving until high school, to his love for outdoor sports as he grew older, he embraced life with enthusiasm. His work at the bowling alley during his senior year and his role as a bowling instructor for children at The N. Kingstown Bowling Alley demonstrate his willingness to engage with his community and share his skills. His deep appreciation for the outdoors led him on journeys across the country, capturing the beauty and history of East Coast statues through his photography and website. This passion speaks to his observant nature and his desire to share his unique perspective with others. It's clear that his intelligence and knowledge of history were deeply admired, and the sentiment that he would have made an excellent history teacher is a testament to his insightful understanding of the past. The feeling of loss is palpable, and it's evident that John will be greatly missed by all who knew him. His diverse interests and the positive impact he had on those around him paint a picture of a truly special individual.
