Mr. Morgan was on my mind today; he was a kind, fair and gentle man. I am truly grateful for all of kindness he has shown all of the Elizardo family over the years at the hotel. He is missed and well thought of.
I hope you're on a boat with the breeze in your hair and a big fish on your line!
See you on the other side one day

For most of the 25 years that I worked in the hotel industry, Bill was my colleague. Even though we had competing hotels for some of that time, our relationship was always one of collaboration. He taught me a great deal about the business and gave me perspective. Due to Bill's humility, most people would not have realized that his leadership in our local tourism industry was pivotal. He touched thousands of peoples lives during his career, and we were all better for having known this great gentleman.

When I hear the name Billy one person comes to my mind, it's my youngest cousin. Billy passing takes me back to a time of fond memories of family. I'm sorry and sad that I didn't get to spend more time with him.

Once in a lifetime you meet that one friend, the one you will never forget. Bill was that to me and I am sure to many others... Thank you for the honor of that one last ride together.
