Doctor Moore found his true medical passion, and soul mate during his radiology residency in Louisville, KY and was appointed to the Radiology Staff at Temple University Medical Center. While teaching at Temple, his wife, Barbara was in training in the radiology department and they met during her residency in 1954. Their life of a story book romance was born and their passion as radiology pioneers advanced medical technology.

In their personal life, Jeff ad enjoyed casual boating with his "folbaot" which they paddled together while courting. Eventually they added a sail and a new passion was born. They later purchased a ketch they named "Photon" in the Chesapeak Bay (referencing a bundle of light energy) which sailed to Marblehead and enjoyed for several years as members of the Boston Yacht Club and Eastern Yacht Club. The passion for travel was not limited to boating and over the years the doctors enjoyed wonderful trips which included several destinations including Europe, England, and South American.
