Dear Moran family, I am so sorry for your loss. Chris' big heart is one of his important legacies, as I learned first through his children. I felt befriended and included in your family while raising my own children on Foxdale. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Chris was a wonderful guy, a great salesperson, and business pal. We worked together when I was in the ad agency business and he was with Peterson Publications. They don't make many people in the media business like Chris any longer; he will be missed and I mourn his passing.

Dear Sheilah, Joe, and the rest of the extended Moran family clan: Please know how sorry we are for your loss. He will truly be missed. Chris never failed to bring a smile to our faces, and the party was never complete until he arrived. We will always remember how he loved to pick Teri up, even in the middle of Elm Street in downtown Winnetka. Now God has lifted Chris up and taken him off to a place where he will always be smiling.

Dear Noel & family,
Our whole family is so deeply saddened by the loss of Chris. What a very special relationship the two of you had. He was such a remarkable and giving man that so many of us would like to emulate. My girls keep talking about little stories and things he shared with them when they would be altar serving or talking to him at Mass. He will be truly missed by all.
With warmest regards,
Katie & Tom Tingle & family
