Elliott Moore, who headed the Appellate Court Branch of the National Labor 
Relations Board for 13 years, died at his home in Oriental, N.C., on Oct. 
19, 2005. 
He was 78.
Better known as Tad, he was born in Sarasota, Fla., the only child of 
Elliott L. Moore and Arlene Kuck Moore.  During the Korean War, he served 
in the United States Air Force for four years, in California and in Japan, 
leaving service as a technical sergeant.  
He received an AB degree from Duke University and an LLB from the 
University of Florida. After three years of private practice in Atlanta, 
he joined the NLRB there, later transferring to the Appellate Court Branch 
in Washington, as a briefing attorney. The Branch represented the Board in 
all 12 U.S. Courts of Appeals, and he was admitted in all of them. During 
his tenure as Chief, the Branch reached its peak in personnel and in 
briefs filed. He obtained two amendments to the Federal Rules of Appellate 
Procedure, one of which substantially altered the Board's practice to this 
day. As a lawyer for the Board, he argued hundreds of cases, including a 
successful defense of the Board's certification in its largest 
representation election.  
He was survived by his wife, Suzanne Stocking; his three sons, Cason Moore 
and his wife, Sondra Renee Elmore; his children, Gregory, Caitlin and 
Cassidy, all of Ocala, Fla., Cary Moore and his wife, Sarah, and their 
sons, Charlie and Peter of Arlington, Va., and Jonathan (Jay) Moore and 
his wife, Ellen, and their daughter, Kira Ann of Arlington, Va.  
Memorial services will be held on Saturday, October 22, 2005. A morning 
service will be held at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Oriental, N.C., at 
9:30. A graveside service will be held in the Quaker tradition at the
Oakdale Cemetery in Wilmington, N.C., at 14:30.  
Arrangements by Bryant Funeral Home & Cremations, Alliance.
