EAST FISHKILL - James Callan Moroney, Jr., 79, an area resident for 47 years, died on July 2, 2023 at his home after battling numerous ailments over the last few years.

Born in Washington, DC on November 13, 1943, he was the son of James C. Moroney, Sr. and Catherine (Hutchins) Moroney. Jim served our country in the US Navy prior to becoming a proud father and husband. He had been employed as a data processor for both Boehringer-Ingelheim and Krasdale Foods.
