John Harold Moran, 78, of Providence, passed away peacefully at Miriam Hospital on May 5, 2021.
Although diagnosed with leukemia a few years ago, he had been successfully treated and lived a full and active life until very recently. He was born December 27, 1942, in Bridgeport CT, the son of John F. and Helen I. Robinson Moran.
In his youth, he attained the rank of Eagle Scout. While an undergraduate student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, he played bass guitar in a rock and roll band fronted by Taj Mahal, who went on to become a well-known blues musician. Music in many genres remained a passion throughout John’s life. He was a gifted pianist and enjoyed performing for others at the Review Club and with Brown medical student musicians.
