                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JUAN VARGAS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 12, 2013

  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Rondal K. Moore, of 
Aurora, Colorado, who passed away from a stroke on November 12th at age 
of 71. Rondal was born on May 25, 1942 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the son 
of Clarence Delmer and Golden Viola Moore. In 1961, he graduated from 
Wheeler County High School in Fossil, Oregon. He went on to serve in 
the United States Navy during the Vietnam War on board the aircraft 
carrier USS Coral Sea as well as duty in Rhode Island at the Naval War 
College. In the spring of 1963, he married Nancy E. Heily and on March 
29th of this year they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. 
Rondal began working for United Airlines in 1966 and spent decades in 
the field of de-icing until retiring in 2003 after 37 years. He held 
multiple patents for inventions in both information and system 
operations as well as software products used in the process of de-
icing. His inventions and patents are still in use today in order to 
help determine check time for de-icing fluid, which allows for safe 
airline travel during inclement weather. My thoughts and prayers go out 
to his surviving family member including his wife of 50 years, Nancy 
Moore, of Aurora, Colorado; his son, Jason Moore, of Chula Vista, CA; 
his daughter, Sondra LaValley, of Aurora, CO; and his sister, Carol 
Ellis, of Kennewick, WA.
