It was a rite of passage for generations of Florida State fans — a stop as essential as the game itself.
“You had to stop at Garnet and Gold on your way to the stadium,” legendary FSU radio voice Gene Deckerhoff said. “Guy was such a special Seminole.”
Guy Moore, who turned that tradition into a Tallahassee institution for more than 40 years as the owner of Garnet and Gold, died Wednesday, June 17, at his home, surrounded by family.
He was 81.
Moore, also a graduate of FSU, opened his first of multiple stores in 1979. His facility on Pensacola Street, within walking distance of Doak Campbell Stadium, is always crowded with fans before and after home games.
