Bill was a respected member of the hospitality industry for over 40 years. He owned various businesses of his own, taught Hotel and Restaurant Management, and managed the Holiday Inn Emerald Beach in Corpus Christi for 28 years. He was a respected member of his community and leaves behind many friends and colleagues. Bill lived life to the fullest. He was happiest when spending time with his family and friends. He loved to fish, travel, cook and cheer on his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers. He was man of few words, but he will be remembered for his intellect, sincerity and sense of humor.

Memories and Condolences
for William Morgan

Not sure what to say?





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.
