Ed Moran was my first supervisor in the Air Force, He was the kind of guy you respected and liked. He's been a friend and mentor to me over the last 50 years. If there ever was a model for the ideal family man and solder Ed was the guy. He will be missed by all who knew him. My personal condolences to Helen his wife, David and Roy Ed his sons, and rest of the Moran Family.
