Edward L. "Leo" Moran
Thompson - E. Leo Moran, 80, passed away Sunday, November 6, 2016 at Sun Coast Hospice in Seminole, FL. Leo was born August 5, 1936 to Edward and Lillian (Caron) Moran in Danielson, CT, the oldest of three children. He graduated from Killingly High School in 1954, and was married to Winifred Bowen in 1955. Leo served as an Airmen First Class with the 1942nd Airways and Air Communications Squadron at Homestead AFB, Florida after being stationed in Mississippi and Hawaii. He earned a National Defense Service Medal and received an Honorable Discharge from active duty in 1962. Leo had a prosperous career in the insurance industry, working as an insurance agent for Prudential Financial Co. until his retirement in 1993. He lived in Brooklyn, CT until moving to Thompson in 1976. He retired to Seminole, FL in the 90’s, but would always return to his cottage on Quaddick Lake in Thompson to enjoy the summers in CT. Leo was an active member of the American Legion and VFW, and loved to participate in the local Veterans Day parades each year. He was also an active member of the East Brooklyn Fire Department where he served as assistant chief. Leo was always a social butterfly, with an open door and a helping hand. He was as patriotic as he was thrifty, keeping an American flag flying, and reveling in a good deal. A true Leo at heart, he was fun loving, adventurous, and spirited; the twinkle in his eye was contagious. Leo was survived by his children, Doreen Auger of Danielson, Karen Moran (Palmer) of North Port FL, David Moran of Putnam, Colleen Moran of North Port FL, and Darren Moran of Brooklyn as well as their spouses and partners; many cousins, grandchildren and great grandchildren; and niece, Mary (Canty) Butler of Pomfret. Leo was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings D. Paul Moran and C. Patricia Canty, and by his son Paul. A graveside service will be held on Saturday, December 10, 2016 at Holy Cross Cemetery in Danielson, CT at 11 am with military honors. There will be a reception to follow at the VFW located at 207 Providence St, Putnam, CT. Flowers may be sent to Tillinghast Funeral Home prior to the service.Obituary
