Paul Moran

From the news reports:

Paul William Moran was born in Adelaide, Australia, on May 30, 1963, the youngest of the four children, all boys, of Gerry and Kath Moran. Theirs was a close family in which love, Christian values and discipline prevailed. ...

The Middle East was now very much his home and he was entranced by its peoples, history and cultures. He preferred the independent life of a freelancer, shooting and editing news stories and producing features. He travelled widely, gathering friends everywhere.

He had a natural empathy with the oppressed and the underdog. The historic plight of the Kurds in Northern Iraq and Iran and their quest for a state of their own moved him. ...

Paul was far more concerned about humanity than money or material gain. He believed the best in people. This, a boyish charm, his charisma and a cheerful attitude in whatever the circumstances seemingly endeared him to everyone he met.
