Obituary
Send FlowersThe Fantastic 40
Maybe it was a bit of ego at work. Or maybe it was an early attack of male midlife crisis, sparked perhaps by one of those fleeting thoughts about mortality. Then again, maybe it was just, hey, time to boogie!
Whatever it was, starting last spring, Dennis Moroney began to talk a lot about making a big deal out of his 40th birthday, which would fall on Nov. 7.
First, he told his wife, Nancy, that he wanted her to throw a big bash for him and invite all his friends from Eastchester, N.Y., where he lived, as well as friends from his office at Cantor Fitzgerald.
Then he began to change the way he lived.
"He started to work a lot harder and longer at his job," Mrs. Moroney recalled.
"And he went on a diet and started exercising a lot more. When he started, he weighed maybe 215 pounds and loved to eat cheeseburgers, five and six a week. But all of a sudden he was seriously into eating veggies and regular jogging, sometimes 10 miles or more. He dropped at least 25 pounds. He was still the sweetest man who ever lived, but he also seemed to have this fresh new focus on life."
Mrs. Moroney reserved space at an Eastchester restaurant for a birthday celebration and drew up a guest list. Invitations were to go out on Oct. 1. Most of the people on the list ended up gathering in Immaculate Conception Church in Eastchester on Sept. 22 for a memorial service.

Today is September 11, 2018. While reading the rembrances of 9-11-2001 in my hometown newspaper, the Washington Post --- I came across a photo of a wall at Bellevue Hospital. The wall was filled with posters of the "missing", and two young boys gazed upon the names and faces. The poster of Dennis Moroney caught my eye. Although the picture was blurry when enlarged, I could still make out a sweet smile. My heart skipped a beat for all the missing, but I hoped that if I did an online search for...

On a visit to New York from Ireland I was set back to see that a Man of the same surname as myself was named on the memorial Wall at the World Trade Centre Site. I wondered where his Irish roots were and what the journey of his generations was like and how tragic that it finished so needlessly there in lower Manhattan. I pray for Dennis and for his Family and Friends. The Tributes on this site bear witness to a great Man. John Moroney

I saw Dennis Moroney's name among the missing and I did a double take because my Dad's name was Dennis F. Moroney, who lived a fine long life.
Coming from Ohio I had no idea that there were other Moroney's. I listened and watched to see if he was found, but never heard any news until I saw this on my computer.
I'm so sorry! He had to have been a fine fellow! What a sorrowful happening!

As I stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

My uncle Dennis was the best man in the world and i loved him so much. My feelings that day were not the same as now because i did not know he worked there. I was 9 at the time and am now 12 and still miss him so very much. In our school each class gets to do a mass every friday and we got one on September 10. We dedicated it to all souls lost in the towers and to my uncle and my friends aunt. I love and miss him and know he is with me. God Bless
