Richard A. Moran

Richard A. “Dick” Moran of St. Charles, Missouri, passed away Monday, December 7, 2020 at the age of 90.  Loving husband of 63 years to the late JoAnne Moran; beloved son of the late Leo J. and Maria Moran; devoted father of Susan Moran, Patricia McCloskey, Michael (Sarah) Moran, Kevin (Lynda) Moran, Lisa Moran, Jennifer (Neal) Mandel, Christopher Moran; cherished grandfather of Johnathan (Jessica) Harris, Stacia McCloskey, Tina (Matt) Trabucco, Jill (Jerry) Price, Amy (David) Jurkovic, Megan Moran, Jessica Moran, Alex (Whitney) Moran, Ashley Moran, and the late Ben Moran; treasured great-grandfather of Colin Trabucco, Tyler Trabucco, Lily Powell, Harriet Price, Danica Jurkovic, Mia Guizani.  Dick was also preceded in death by his brother, Bob (Irma) Moran.

Dick proudly and honorably served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War.  He attended Mizzou - University of Missouri in Columbia for his undergrad in business and also received his doctorate in law there as well.  He worked as an attorney for Shelter Insurance and retired after more than 30 years with the company.

Dick loved to watch sports, but no other teams held a candle to his alma mater.  He was the ultimate Mizzou sports fan, especially football, and he never missed watching a game.

As a strong man of faith, he was a devoted member of St. Robert's Bellarmine Catholic Church for 15 years.  He dearly cared for his neighbors and friends.  He also made sure to meet his fraternity brothers at least once a month for lunch, just so they could stay in touch.

Dick enjoyed the many years he spent with his wife.  They usually went to the boat together for a little gambling and dinner afterwards.  He always looked forward to spending time with family.  Some of his favorite pastimes were playing Sudoku, Cryptoquips, and the Jumbles in the paper every morning.  He loved his adorable greyhounds, Zoe and Shay.  Dick was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Memorials may be made in Dick's name to Five Acres Animal Shelter.
