New York CNN —Bob Moore, the founder of Bob’s Red Mill whole-grains company, has died.
Moore “peacefully passed away” at his home on Saturday, at the age of 94.
“Bob’s legacy will live on forever in all of us who had the opportunity to work with him and is infused into the Bob’s Red Mill brand,” said Bob’s Red Mill CEO Trey Winthrop.
Moore’s passion for healthy foods helped lead him to start Bob’s Red Mill in 1978 in Portland, Oregon, as a local company before gradually expanding its sales into more than 70 countries and employing about 700 people.
Moore is survived by his three sons (Ken, Bob, Jr. and David), plus his four daughters-in-law, nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
