Morgan Ridgway Barker

Morgan was among the sweetest men I have ever known. I grew up playing with Nate on Tunbridge Road and sailing with all the Barker's on their succession of boats. Morgan and my dad, Bill Warden, were best friends to the end and their bond over boats and sailing knew no end. Morgan stopped by in 2019 to visit my mom and while I think she knew who he was, he certainly delighted in seeing her. I am grateful for the time I spent with him that day. Fair weather sailing my friend....

I had the privilege of volunteering with Morgan at Mill. Valley Middle for the past 5-6 years. He was truly a sweet and gentle man who had a great rapport with the kids. I can only hope that I can handle my inevitable health decline with half the grace Morgan did.
