Gerald M. (Bud) Moore was born Nov. 23, 1916, at Union, the son of Merle and Lois Lockard Moore, and was employed by the Moore firm and later by Young Heating Co. [Waterloo]. From 1945 to 1951, he was associated with Bowman & Moore Heating Co. of Waverly before moving to Milwaukee, where he had since been a steamfitter for the Water Works.

Mr. Moore had served with the Navy during World War II and was a member of the Masonic Lodge. He married Hazel Bowman in Waterloo on Dec. 31, 1937.

She survives him along with three sons: Donald and James Moore, both of Arcadia, Calif.; a daughter, Suzanne, at home; four grandchildren; his parents: Merle Moore of Union and Mrs. Lois Moore of 1809 Falls Ave.; his brother, Roger; and a sister, Mrs. Woodrow (Woody) Bowman of 641 Cedar Bend.

Only Brother of Burn Victim Dies

While Roger M. Moore, 55, president of Moore Engineering Co., Inc., remains hospitalized
with severe burns, his brother, Gerald M. (Bud) Moore, 54, has died of a heart attack.

Funeral arrangements for the latter are pending in Milwaukee, Wis., where Mr. Moore succumbed to a coronary attack at his home at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Roger Moore of 2727 Alameda St., Cedar Falls, along with two of his employees and two officials of Lennox Industries of Marshalltown were burned in a flash fire at Marshalltown on Oct. 26. The group was checking out a liquid propane gas facility installed by Moore's firm in a Lennox company lot. Investigation into the cause of that fire is continuing.

Both Roger Moore and a Lennox official continue to be hospitalized, Moore, with third degree burns of the face, hands and head. Because of his condition, Roger Moore will thus be unable to attend the funeral services for his brother.
