	In Memory
	of
	Dale Moran

	WHEREAS, A rich and purposeful life drew to a close with
	the passing of the Honorable Dale Edward Moran of Whitehouse on
	September 30, 2020, at the age of 76; and

	WHEREAS, The son of Kenneth and Cleo Moran and brother of
	David, Patrick, Paul, and Michael, Dale Moran was born in
	Stewardson, Illinois, on July 5, 1944; during his youth, he took
	on a number of jobs in his hometown, and he participated in the
	Boy Scouts of America; and

	WHEREAS, After graduating from high school in 1962,
	Mr. Moran enrolled in Miracle Valley Bible College in Southern
	Arizona, where he later held three summer tent revivals; he went
	on to join the college as a professor and dean of students, and he
	played an instrumental role in establishing another location in
	Tyler; he subsequently served as the administrator at East Texas
	Bible College, and in the mid-1980s, he became the general
	manager of the Reverend R. W. Schambach's ministry; he further
	distinguished himself as a Sunday school teacher and pastor; and

	WHEREAS, Mr. Moran served three terms as mayor of
	Whitehouse and two terms on the city council, and he contributed
	to a number of initiatives, including Keep Whitehouse Beautiful
	and an advisory board for local nursing facilities; he was also
	appointed to the East Texas Regional Review Committee by Governor
	George W. Bush in 1996; and

	WHEREAS, A successful entrepreneur as well, Mr. Moran
	founded Moran Munchies in 1989, and his son, Patrick Moran,
	joined the company soon after; today, the business is known as
	Moran Refreshments, and it has become one of the largest
	independent vending companies in East Texas; and

	WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Mr. Moran benefited from
	the love and support of his wife, the former Marjorie McCall,
	with whom he shared a rewarding marriage that spanned five and a
	half decades; in addition to Patrick, they were blessed with
	three other sons, Christopher, Daniel, and Nathaniel, and a
	daughter, the late Shannon Moran; over the years, Mr. Moran had
	the pleasure of welcoming into his family 16 grandchildren and a
	great-grandson; and

	WHEREAS, Deeply dedicated to his family, his faith, and his
	community, Dale Moran earned the lasting respect and admiration
	of all who were privileged to know him; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
	Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the memory
	of the Honorable Dale Edward Moran and extend heartfelt sympathy
	to his family and many friends; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
	prepared for his family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns
	this day, it do so in memory of Dale Moran.
