Read MoreI remember JimMorgan . I had him for Spanish at East Bend High School and he was very well liked and did so much to help his basketball teams. I played basketball for him and loved every moment. I remember at one game, he said if we had hit foul shots we would have won. I reminded him I had hit all of my foul shots. I don´t remember if the other forwards hit theirs. I really respected Jim. He knew what he was doing.

My love and sympathy to his sweet family. When talking with Mary Alice these last few months, I told her to tell Jim that I loved him and envied his beautiful gray hair. He is now an angel among us

What can I say about Coach Morgan? I posted something on Chris' blog, but I have to leave some memories here too. He had been basketball and baseball coach maybe 2 years when I started in first grade at East Bend. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to play basketball when I got in high school; well that was the only sport available for girls. When Coach handed me my used #3 red and black suit, I was elated. You see, I was short and small, so to win my position I had to be fast and able...

Jim will be remembered as a man of wisdom and strength by those who knew him. It was always fun to golf and watch and talk basketball with him. We will all miss his company, compassion, faithful wisdom and voice in the choir. Prayers and peace to all the family, we love you.
