                      TRIBUTE TO TERRY MOORE, JR.

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD ASHFORD

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 2016

  Mr. ASHFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and remember a 
beloved Nebraskan whose life was truly an inspiration to all who were 
fortunate enough to know him.
  Terry Moore, Jr., who has passed away at the age of 47, suffered from 
a rare developmental disorder known as Williams Syndrome.
  Although it brings with it a lifetime of health and learning 
challenges, Terry refused to let it slow him down as he maintained an 
extremely rigorous, productive and fulfilling life.
  Many Omahans came to know him during his years happily working in the 
City-County building, as an energetic and most-helpful clerk in the 
Douglas County Treasurer's office.
  This is a most difficult time for Terry's dad, Terry Moore, Sr., a 
very good friend of mine and longtime Nebraska labor leader.
  Terry, I can't begin to understand the pain you are suffering but 
please know that your son will long be remembered for his never-ending 
courage and grace as he lived a truly motivating life.
