John Moylan, a highly revered member of the San Francisco community who dedicated his life to public service and was an advocate for the installation of a suicide barrier on the Golden Gate Bridge, died Feb. 4 at age 92.
Moylan immigrated from Ireland to the United States in 1951 and within days landed a job plastering walls and ceilings, according to the Irish newspaper the Tipperary Star.
