Moran was also the chairman of the North American advisory board of the Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School.
For his support of the international relief organization, Concern Worldwide, Moran was recognized by the prime minister of Ireland, who commented that "his selfless actions have improved the lives of thousands."
He was singled out as a humanitarian, philanthropist and influential voice in the Irish peace process, who consistently championed reconciliation.
After Moran's death in 2018, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, was selected to succeed him as chancellor of Queen's University Belfast.
A Mass of Christian Burial was offered for Moran at Saint Patrick's Cathedral, with Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, and a personal friend of Tom's, serving as officiant.
