Not sure what to say?

Six months later, Michael is greatly missed....his sense of humor, spread of kindness like seeds in a field, warmth, and belief in the goodness in people and life....to say nothing of his love of New Hampshire. I am certain that you, Michael, are "all about" the Town Hall in Heaven, and cannot wait to share it with those that you love. Be patient, they still have work to do to make this Earth better, and will tell you all about it one day!

To the Morgan Family,
So sorry to hear of Michael's passing. I remember our childhood days with your entire family. Always a pleasure to have Michael's visits in his early adult years. I truly know and understand what your family is going through. He has completed his work here and is now in Heaven to continue his work. May your family heal soon. As someone told me..." God only wants the best to be on his team".

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mike Morgan, and offer condolences to his family, friends, and coworkers. I retired a couple of years ago from being the Main Street School Librarian in Exeter, and Mike delivered a speech at my retirement, as well as pulled me over in the hallway to give me the most wonderful compliments shortly before I left. He made me feel so supported and appreciated, and coming from him, it meant a lot. I loved it when he was one of my guest readers every year for...

When Michael Morgan came to Seton Catholic High School in Cheyenne he improved the school immediately. It was in large part due to him and the teachers he recruited, especially in math and science, that our school had so many successful graduates. Thanks Michael, for all you did for us and our community.

Leslie, I just returned from vacation and heard of Mike's passing. He was quite a mentor in my years at THS. Then to work with you at St Joe's was a pleasure and nice surprise. My deepest condolences to you and your family. He was an amazing man with deep concerns and love for education. My prayers are with you. Sylvette Chenette

Mr. Morgan was our first principal at Seton Catholic High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was a God-send to our community and took pride in his diligent work to shape the lives of so many. To this day, I remember some of his words of wisdom. May he rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the family of Mike Morgan. I served Two terms on the Barrington School Board and never realized until now how many lives Mike touched. He always took the time to listen to what you had to say no matter who you were (school board member, resident, faculty, parent, or student). It really touched me when I read a post on facebook from a young lady (one of my Daughter's good friends) that she wouldn't have made it thru school if it hadn't been for Mike taking the time to...

Mike and I were colleagues in SAU 23. He was a true professional and we kept in touch for many years by email. Education has lost a wonderful role model. Jerry Benson.
