William Moriarty Obituary

William J. Moriarty

William J. Moriarty died on September 29 in San Francisco of a sudden heart attack. He was born in Butte, Montana on December 23, 1949, the son of Frederic B. Moriarty and Elizabeth Carman Moriarty Hauck. Bill graduated from Butte High School, where he was a stellar athlete and student. He attended Stanford University, earning a degree in history, and Georgetown Law School. He began his legal career with a Wall Street law firm in New York City, relocating to San Francisco several years later. He practiced law in San Francisco for decades, where his principal focus was litigation.

He is survived by his brothers John C. Hauck (Mary Lou), Frederic B. Moriarty (Donna), Thomas C. Hauck; and sisters Jane Van Dyk (Tom) and Mary H. Rasmussen (Ronn). A brother, Robert C. Hauck, predeceased him, but his wife, Eleanor, survives. In addition, he has 12 surviving nieces and nephews, and many great-nieces and nephews. He married Lynn Perry in 1987; they later divorced. Bill had no children.
