Raymond P. "Suds" Moran Sr.

Raymond P. Moran Sr., affectionately known as "Suds" by those who knew him best, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2025, at the age of 92, in his hometown of West Chester, Pa.

Born on March 28, 1933, to the late Daniel Moran Sr. and Anna M. Moran. He was preceded in death by his brothers Robert Moran and Daniel Moran Jr.

Ray was the beloved husband of Mary A. (McCarthy) Moran. He was a cherished father to his sons, John D. Moran and Raymond P. Moran Jr., and father-in-law to Rebecca A. Moran.

A proud US Army Veteran, Ray served his country with honor before embarking on a career that showcased his work ethic. He spent many years as an aluminum cast specialist at Scotts Casting. Later, he contributed to the educational environment of West Chester University through the logistical services department where he retired after 22 years.

Ray's involvement at the Fame Fire Company, VFW Post 106, Eagles Home Association of West Chester and the Knights of Columbus along with his love for shuffleboard were avenues through which he formed lasting friendships and brought joy to those around him. Ray was also a lifelong member of St. Agnes Church.
