In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, William M., Joseph B., Thomas P., Francis R., James J.; and a sister, Geraldine Moran Robinson.

John is survived by a son, Craig D. Moran, Pottsville; brothers, Patrick D. and Dennis M.; sisters, Mary E. Moran, Joan M. Wagner and Jeannette H. Furness, all of Pottsville.
