Moe was a member of the American Legion Post 420 in East Springfield where he spent many years with his beloved East Side brothers. He leaves behind his wife of thirty-three years, Louise (Fradette) Moriarty, daughter Megan and her husband Anthony Costa along with his two grandsons Declan and Noah Costa of Southwick, daughter Paige Moriarty of Feeding Hills and daughter Julianne Moriarty of Feeding Hills and her boyfriend Anthony Saccomani. He was predeceased by his sister Patricia Appleton and his good buddy BA. He also leaves behind a sister Maureen and her husband Robert Bennett of Chicopee and a brother-in-law, Ralph Appleton of Wilbraham. Moe had a large extended family and leaves behind many brother and sister-in-laws, along with many nieces and nephews who fondly called him “Uncle Moe.” Calling hours are Monday November 28th from 12 – 2pm at the AGAWAM CURRAN JONES FUNERAL HOME, 745 Cooper Street followed by a Mass at Sacred Heart Church, 1061 Springfield Street, Feeding Hills at 2:30pm.

I worked with Tommy (and Brian and Ralph) at DTA for many years. Tommy was so full of life. He was loved by all the staff. The south group were always happy to see the Springfield group including Tommy. I always felt close to them because Noreen Begley is one of my good friends. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of Tommy Moes passing. He was one of a kind and a great guy. We worked for the Dept of Transistional Assistance in different parts of the state but had many fun “meetings” together, especially in Falmouth, Ma. You will be fondly remembered. Betsy Pinkerton
