John Francis “Jack” Moran passed away March 8, 2021. He was born in Chicago, IL, on January 25,1927 to Florence McDonnell and Michael Moran. The oldest of three children, Jack proved to be a hard working self starter enjoying a 46 year career with AT&T. He served his country with honor in the US Navy during World War II. He wed Antoinette “Toni” Spatola to whom he was happily married for 52 years until Toni’s death in 2001. Settling in Elmhurst, IL in 1965, Jack and Toni raised their six children. Jack was a devoted and engaged father who enthusiastically supported his children’s every interest. Jack was a lifelong optimist who saw the best in others, was playful and funny and loaded with lovable quirks. Anyone lucky enough to serve Jack at a restaurant or stand next to him on an elevator would be very likely to remember the experience with a smile. He will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.
