Denise, former patient

I was so sad of hearing of Dr. Moran's passing. He was my doctor for many years when he practiced in NYC and left a profoundly positive impact in my life. I had other doctors after him, but never someone as kind and professional. Yesterday I did a google search for him thinking that maybe I would be so lucky and he had decided to relocate back to NYC only to find out that he had passed away.

Thank you Dr. Moran for always making me feel like I was a strong person and that together we could overcome this horrible disease that is anxiety. I couldn't have done it without you and will be forever grateful for believing in me.

Farewell from King's College, London

I have only just found out about Steve's death. It hit me hard, it has been many years since I was in touch with Steve but we had some really memorable times at King's College, London. Through all these years I would often think of him and wonder what brilliant things he was up to and it would always bring a smile to my face and a sense of happiness to my soul. So sorry to hear of his passing - way too young.
With love Nell Carswell xx

I have so many fond high school memories of Stephen ... from him asking me out on my very first date in the hallways of MTHS (we went to see Michael perform in Barefoot in the Park :-), to watching him shine in performances in Grease and Joseph, how beautifully he played the violin, to (if memory serves me correctly) watching him get crowned prom king at our class senior prom. Early in our 20s, I would run into him from time to time in NYC and it was always fun to catch up. Last time we corresponded was about 10 years ago through Facebook, where he had just spent a delightful (yet exhausting) day running around with Delia's kids at the Central Park Zoo, and was just about to become a unit director at one the Einstein hospitals in New York. The wit in his message was razor sharp as usual. My deepest condolences to Michael, Delia, Mr. and Mrs. Moran, and the rest of the family.

In high school we had each other. Finding our way into adulthood and devoting ourselves to each other in love and support. Stephen was part of that and more. I didn't know him well, but in the brief time we shared, I found him to be a loving brother, a devoted friend and a confidant. He shared his immense talent, humor and intelligence with all of us. And now he shares his gifts with the heavens. We were all better off knowing him.

It’s been many years since I’ve seen Stephen and my sincerest condolences to all of his family. What I remember most about Stephen is that he possessed an incredibly FUNNY, rapier-like wit and an equally as sharp intellect...yet he was able to be as goofy and as silly as the rest of us at the same time. I marveled at his ability to do both. He was gifted in so many ways and at so many things. I’ll always picture you with your arm on Mikes shoulder as he played guitar and you both sang magnificently. Soar Stephen.

Stephen was a very big part of my high school memories. Stephen was the sweet guy….warm and playful….very witty. He was intellectual and kind. But when you would least expect it, and explosion of fun. Every memory I have of Stephen is the same. He would listen, pause, then laugh. My favorite memories are of him and Michael – two peas in a pod – performing together for our group of friends.
I am very lucky to have known Stephen. I’m not surprised of his later successes...he was an old soul and wise beyond his years, like he knew something more than the rest of us.
Thank you, Stephen for those wonderful memories. Rest in Peace.
