Obituary

William Randall Moore, “Randy,” was born September 9th, 1946 to William Nathaniel and Gladdys Lance Moore.  He grew up in the Pleasant Grove area in Dallas, Texas.  He graduated from W. W. Samuell High School and attended Arlington State College. His love for music started in high school where he played the clarinet in the marching band and was active in the school and church choir. Randy was a Boy Scout in troop 781 and earned his Eagle Scout in 1961. He then went on to work in various positions at Frozen Food Express where he retired after 35 years. Randy always loved scouting, camping, and fishing.  He was the Scout Master for his sons’ entire troop and worked with the Boy Scout organization in some capacity throughout most of his life.  He was an active board member at the Addison Community Theater where he spent many hours building sets, running lights and running sound. He also chaired the committee that worked towards the development of the Watertower Theatre at the Addison Theatre Centre. Randy loved reading everything he could, but he especially enjoyed science fiction, instruction manuals, and junk mail. After years of professing atheism he was challenged by a coworker named Elise to read the Bible.  He had reached such a low time in his life that he didn’t think it could hurt.  He began to read, and he identified with Job.  He began attending Southwest Church of Christ and was baptized.  He moved to Highland Oaks where one morning he met Gloria Weidler, a single mother of 3.  Within 6 weeks, she proposed to him and they met with Bruce Norman to discuss the wedding.  They were married on April 15, 1983. Randy is survived by his wife of 31 years, Gloria, his five children, Lara, Sarah, Jeremy, Joshua and Joseph and their spouses, his four grandchildren, Nicole, Erik, Allyson and Garrett, his sister and brother-in-law, Lana and George Thompson, and his many nieces and nephews.

    I will never forget the many years your family road and worked on JOY busses. You were always a deep thinker and a lover of discussion. I know you are at peace and no more pain or sickness. As your family is grieving their loss, you are enjoying your reward with the Father. I look forward to seeing you again someday.

    I grew up with Randy in Pleasant Grove, and knew his parents. We also attended Samuell together. Randy was a very nice guy, and will be missed. So very sorry.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
