                      MEMORIAL FOR RONDAL K. MOORE

  (Mr. VARGAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Rondal K. Moore of 
Aurora, Colorado, who passed away from a stroke on November 12 at the 
age of 71.
  Mr. Moore was born on March 25, 1942, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the 
son of Clarence Delmer and Golden Viola Moore.
  In 1961, Mr. Moore graduated from Wheeler County High School in 
Fossil, Oregon. He went on to serve in the United States Navy during 
the Vietnam war onboard the aircraft carrier USS Coral Seas, 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 29 of 
this year they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
  Mr. Moore 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 fluids, which allows for safe 
travel during inclement weather.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to his surviving family members, 
including his wife of 50 years, Nancy Moore, of Aurora, Colorado; his 
son, Jason Moore, of Chula Vista, California, also a Navy veteran; his 
daughter, Sondra LaValley, of Aurora, Colorado; and his sister, Carol 
Ellis, of Kennewick, Washington.
