The New York credit union community is mourning the death of two longtime leaders-Alfred J. Mariani and Richard K. Moore.
Mariani and Moore were both members of New York's Credit Union Hall of Fame. Mariani was inducted in 2008 and Miller was inducted last month at the Credit Union Association of New York's Annual Convention.
Mariani joined the credit union movement in the late 1940s following the end of World War II. He served as treasurer of both Oneida FCU and Bendix FCU before becoming a field representative for the Syracuse chapter of the Credit Union Association of New York. Mariani served in that capacity for 14 years, organizing more than 100 credit unions from Binghamton to Massena and nurturing them to health and prosperity. He then went on to become manager/CEO of Syracuse University FCU.
Mariani is survived by his son, Joseph, daughter, Theresa, two sisters, six grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Moore was a founding member of Reliant Community FCU. In 1985, he joined the board of directors and diligently served as its board chairman from1986 until his passing. He was also a member of the credit union's supervisory committee. Moore was also an active member of the National Association of Credit Union Chairmen.
Moore is survived by his wife, Suzanne, two sons, five grandchildren and a sister.
