I want to express my condolences to Ann and family over John. I went to Xavier with John and always loved his quiet humor. To think of John brings back a lot of good memories from our college days. We lived on the same wing in Brockman Hall and we had some good times. I haven't seen him in many years but am still in shock over the news. I wish that I could have attended the funeral but unfortunately will not be able to make it. I just want to express how sorry I am to John's family as he will be missed by many people.

Ann, Jack, Patrick and George - you are all in our prayers. John was a tremendous man. While his life was too short, it was filled with love and friendships. We're all hurting at the loss, but better off for having had John in our lives.

My mom, Ann Moran, wishes to offer her condolences on the death of John. She remembers him as great kid. She would hear his friends say, "you are marrying Ann Moran?" and get great chuckle of it. Her prayers are with you all at this sad and difficult time. She rejoices for John to be heaven but knows that it is not easy for you all.
