COL Moroney
 

Looking back on several of the COL's posts, I realized that his last "log in" was about 0545 the morning of 27 Oct 08.

He was checking in on all of us to ensure that we were okay.

Sean, our heartfelt condolences to the Moroney Family and Friends.

Rest in Peace Sir.

It is approaching one week since I was shocked to learn of Colonel Moroney's passing.

I have been searching for ways to express my thoughts, especially since I feel that it is only fitting to do so since we have lost one of our master wordsmiths, but nothing seems adequate. ( I, too, was among the many who 'begged' Colonel Jack to write a book... and as Razor noted some time ago, when the Colonel said in a post that he 'just' has some thoughts and notes in a zipped up binder, wouldn't we all wish to be able to read what it contained. ).

The Reaper and Team Sergeant were eloquent in their words that opened this thread. Yet, I kept thinking that so many of the words used by the Quiet Professionals to describe Colonel Jack, could also be used by many of us on this board who are civilians and came to know him through PS.com. He was a mentor, a teacher (of many subjects), a friend to us, as well.

Re-reading many of the Colonel's posts this past week has been a moving, and sometimes difficult, experience. However, what it has been most of all was a reminder that for those words that the Colonel wrote for our benefit not to have been in vain or a waste of his time, then it is up to me (personally and also as a teacher) to put many of his lessons to work when I can.

To the Quiet Professionals here, please accept my condolences on the loss of your brother.

To Mrs. Moroney, his sons and daughter, his grandchildren and the rest of his family, please accept my deepest sympathies.

And to Colonel Jack, thank you for everything.

Sincerely,
B.

To The Quiet Professional
 

I take my leave of this Hallowed Ground.Thank you for letting me come into your house.

If you calm yourself enough to hear and feel the world around you.
The beating of your heart sounds off like God Almightys Drum.
In between the thunder can you feel the deadly silence?
Special Forces defend my Freedom
Till God Thy Kindom Come!

God Bless you Uncle Jack
