Morgan Whittmore Bentley

A little late on the uptick but I Remember Morgan and his family during a summer vacation on Fire Island 1967 to be exact. We used to play Scrabble while discussing the presence of multitudes of beautiful girls on the beach, while his brother trained for football running on the Saltaire boardwalks in football cleats. At that age 15-18 your personality and character traits are beginning to take shape and anchor themselves. Morgan was intelligent, self-effacing, polite, a decent young man, his...

My daughter Ali just told me of your loss. I am just heartbroken. What a wonderful life lost. I will keep you all in my prayers. I actually went to school with Mark but got to know Morgan when our kids went through Lincoln. Jane, what can I say...you are all so surrounded by love...reach out if you need to. God Bless and keep you all. Prayerfully, Julie Stymacks and the entire Stymacks Family

Although my husband Brad and I only knew Morgan for a short while, he definitely made an impression on both of us. My husband Brad also was raised in Summit and attended Pingry. Our sons were on the same soccer team for two years and the pride that Morgan displayed when watching his son play soccer was amazing. His spirit on and off the field will certainly be missed.

What can family say at a time like this . But good man taken too early. He will be missed by everyone he touched in his full but too short life. I have fond memories of him and his great lust for life. Norman Armitage Nashville TN.

I like Don Kaufman so enjoyed getting to reconnect with Morgan after so many years at our 35th reunion dinner in Morristown. It was so encouraging to hear once again, so loud and so strong, that wonderful laugh and confident, wry sense of humor. As we laughed and retold so many old stories that night, we all were transfixed anew by Morgan's spirit and intelligence and left feeling as if nothing had changed in all those years. His classmates at Pingry will sorely miss Morgan and I send all my...

I was so shocked and saddened to hear that the Bentley family lost their Morgan. Our meetings during adult life were few and far between, but I will always have a mental picture and a fond memory of his little tow head next to mine in a shiny red wagon on the boardwalk of Saltaire when we were very young! We so loved those days as carefree children and if heaven is Saltaire, that's where we will find Morgan!! God bless you all and my dear Charrie, I will write to you very soon. Love and...

I'm so sorry for your loss. As a fellow classmate of Morgan's ('71) I admired and appreciated his intelligence, wit and skill. He was a class act. How wonderful that the world got a chance to be with him for a while.

Thank you Morgan for being there all the times I needed you to handle my legal issues....I will sincerely miss you, your wit, your wisdom and engaging manner... God bless and God speed!

Dear Bentley family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. I remember Morgan well and I am sure, though I have not seen Morgan for years, that he will be sadly missed by his family and friends.
My family and I feel for your loss.
Jesse and Michelle Morgan
