Not sure what to say?

Remembering you all from years ago when you lived in Florham Park. Just tried to look you up and saw this sad news. I always enjoyed both you and Joe´s company. I am so sorry for your loss. Best, Annemarie Landishman

Joe Moran's glass was always on the full side, even if the water was barely visible. Now his glass is not only visibly full it is overflowing. Joe's life on earth was an example to all of us on how to be positive and how to appreciate life throughout all our seasons of trials and triumphs.

Now that I am retired, I sometimes think back to my grade school years at St Stephen. The first memory that always comes is Joe's voice. In a game of kickball, the kicker kick the ball straight up and I was the closes to catch it. I remember Joe saying "let him catch it" to the other players who were running to make the catch. Joe had more confidence in me than myself. I am sorry for letting Joe down, I did not make the catch. Joe , I know we'll meet again. God bless.

Joe, I'll miss your big hugs and Irish jokes, funny or not! My heart goes out to Joy and Kevin and all my dear Moran cousins at this time of loss. You are in my prayers and I love each and every one of you. I am sure Joe is dancing with he Angels like he never danced before.

Joe was a great friend of my family, and we will miss his positive outlook, humor, and MFL fantasy football losses!
It is hard to believe that Joe is no longer with us, but we look forward to the ultimate reunion with Joe, one of the truly 'good guys'.

Who ever heard of a grade school reunion?Well Joe thought it was a great idea and it truly was. 35 years in 1998. Again for a 60th birthday picknick for all the people from St. Stephens in 2009. Thank you so much Joe and all your family. You have truly been a blessing to our community.

Joy, Kevin and the entire family. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Joe and Joy for about 12 years. I so value their friendship. Whenever a day went bad - I could always call Joe and say,"tell me a story today"...my day always became instantly better. My families thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. With much love and respect.
