Colonel Jack Moroney
It is with deep regret that the staff and members of ProfessionalSoldiers.com report the passing this morning of Jack Moroney, Colonel (Retired), Special Forces.
Colonel Moroney was a rare individual who was a warrior, mentor, leader, father, husband and great American. He epitomized the Quiet Professional.
I was privileged to have him as a Group Commander, there was no one better at getting the job done and taking care of his people than Colonel Moroney. Woe to anyone who attempted to mess with his people, or Special Forces.
He was a friend who could be counted on and an inspiration who led from the front.
I am proud to have known him, and the world is a lesser place without him.
RIP, Sir. Thank you for your exceptional service, and your friendship. You will not be forgotten.
Save a place for us on the other side. We will meet again.

It has been my honor to know you these last few years. I will miss you and your council.
Rest in Peace, Sir.

Sad day indeed
Sir,
You were the sage of wisdom that created extraordinary men. Many will carry with you a lifelong passion of courage and a warrior spirit from your fine example of a man, a soldier, and a warrior.
RIP Sir

Rest in Peace, Sir. Our prayers for your family in their time of need.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

I am in shock and deeply saddened...the world will be a lesser place without your wit and wisdom. Sir, though we never met...I will miss you greatly. Rest in Peace, Colonel...my prayers are with your family. I'll not forget you.

People have the ability to live long beyond the time that they shed this mortal coil.
But, there is a price, and the only legal tender accepted is influence.
Colonel Moroney, your intelligent discourse, offered wisdom, experience, and insight were well recieved.
Your words here have influenced me.
You will live on in the hearts and minds of all you have influenced.
You have paid in full.
Though your physical presence will be greatly missed,
Live on Mr. Moroney !

Just returned from Houston and the first post I open is this one. Damn! RIP, Sir! May you enjoy nothing further but blue skies, gentle breezes, and soft landings.
