Support for the Moore family continues to pour in from the community, nation and those abroad. Bud Arce, who created benefit accounts at a local bank and online to support the family of fallen Coeur d’Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore, said a total of about $160,000 was raised during the first six days after the tragedy. “That’s incredible,” said Arce, a founder of the nonprofit Kootenai County Police and Fire Memorial Foundation which established an account at Umpqua Bank in Coeur d’Alene. “It’s sad to say, but we knew this day would be coming.” Arce said the account at the bank had nearly $85,000 as of Monday, while a GoFundMe online account had $75,166/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press.
