Dean was a good friend to my father, Harry Moran.
Dean often caught fish in Hemlock and dropped them
at our house at 83 Big Tree in Livonia.
We appreciated the fish.
My Dad always enjoyed a visit from Dean.
I always enjoyed listening to the two talking at our
dining room table having a cup of coffee.
Thanks Dean for being a friend to the Moran family.
God Bless
Terry Moran
I can’t believe we shared the same birthday
I’m so sad that I didn’t say goodbye. Life took me away and I never got back. I’m sorry grandpa I love you and always will. I will always remember the little adventures we took like camping and bike riding. Thank you for loving me. Forever your first Mechelle.
Deepest condolences, Danny, Pam, and all your families. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Pam, Diane, Nancy, Jeff, Ronnie, Danny, Tom, so very sorry for your loss. Praying for the comfort of Jesus to be with you all.
