Wow, I can't believe Mr. Morgan has left us to be with God:( He was such a nice person and will be missed by me and I think anyone that knew him. My son and I loved hearing all the sport stories that Mr. Morgan was telling us about and the 2 no hitters he saw his Yankees had, one for his team and the other against his team. So sorry for your loss Iris and family:( Hold his memories and he will always be with you in your hearts. God bless you Mr. Morgan on your trip to Heaven and God bless his family. Love you and miss you already.
