Jim was a wonderful man and a great leader. Me gave me my first teaching opportunity in Springfield at Armory. I count the years there as some of my best. Condolences to all of you.

What a great man , I loved him! I would say hello Mr.Moriarty and your mother would chime in and say you better call me Mrs.Moriarty , not Peg ! I'm sorry I couldn't attend the wake or funeral ,I had my knee replaced 1 month ago! Thinking of you all, he loved his kids and grandchildren so much when I met him he was always beaming with pride ❤

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of
Mr. Moriarty. I had the pleasure of working
with him as his secretary at Armory Street School. I will always remember all the good times we had. He always made me laugh with all of his stories. He will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and may he rest in peace.

To the Moriarty family, So sorry to hear of your fathers passing. He and Peg were a great couple. I grew up next to the Clune's on Thornton St. and my mother(Peg O'Malley) taught with Peg at Samuel Bowles. May he rest in Peace

To Mr. Moriarty's Family,
I had the pleasure of having your Dad as my
fifth grade teacher at Achusnet Ave School in the 1960's. To a little kid, he was so tall and that smell of his pipe greeted our classroom every morning. In later life I became a fifth grade teacher. I taught at Amory Street School for a short period. He always came into my classroom and talked about the good old days! I will always remember his kindness and that jolly laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with the Moriarty family.

"In a nutshell, then, we are right to strive toward becoming a famous dad, a hero in our home, precisely because in our fathering we have the awesome opportunity to reflect God, the ultimate Father." - Matt Click
