Neither Moran nor his family had vision problems. But talking to Olson, Moran once wrote, put him in mind of Bible stories his mother told him as a child. “I was particularly touched by the story of the blind beggar, the power of faith, and the miraculous restoration of his sight,” Moran wrote. A donation from Moran established the center’s first building, the university said, and he also contributed to build the center’s current headquarters in 2006 — a five-story building that he helped design, with a wall of glass windows that allows patients who receive the center’s sight-restoring surgeries and treatment to look out on the Salt Lake Valley.
He served three years in the Navy, as an intelligence officer for the commander of the Pacific fleet, before starting his finance career at the investment banking firm Blyth & Company in 1958.
