Though Col Jack Moroney (JCarron) never went beyond posting an intro thread on the board, I know many here know him from other places.

It is with great sadness that we lost him this last Sunday.

Sir, you were a Man among Men.  The Greatest of the Great.

Your wisdom will be missed, your stories were inspirational and your quiet leadership a shining example.

I never met you, Sir, but if I had been in your AO, I would have made a point of going out of my way, just to say I'd had the honor.

You will be missed.  You will not be forgotten.

Jack was my Company CO when I was with B-2-10SFGA. He was the epitome of the warrior/ scholar and one of the toughest men I have ever known.

He took me from being an 18 year old SFQC graduate screw-up to becoming a well-rounded SF operator. He made me the man I am today.

I could never forget his words of wisdom because if I did, I knew the ensuing beatings by him and SGM Snider would be swift and sure. (Yeah, really old Army! LOL!)

He was a father figure to me and I loved him as such. God bless you Sir and I hope to see you on the other side.

Blue Skys,

Craig

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.​
