SCSU: After years dancing for crowds, Eddie Moe ‘dancing for Jesus’

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- When South Carolina State University’s Marching 101 gets new uniforms, on each shoulder will be an insignia in remembrance of the life and legacy of “Eddie Moe.”

Mourners filled St. Paul Baptist Church Tuesday to pay their final respects to Eddie Moore Jr. one of Orangeburg’s most beloved sons.

Across the nation he was known as Eddie Moe, but to family he was “Junior,” said Moore’s sister, Minister Virginia Berry White.

“Whatever Eddie Moe was to you, he was to us,” she said.



“There was something special about Eddie beside his disabilities,” she said. “He began to take shape into God’s purpose right before our eyes. He changed from Junior to Eddie Moe the celebrity and became the one God would use for such a time as this.”

White said her brother’s life makes for the ultimate Christmas story.
