We had lunch with Morgan the last two years and he was amazing.
The restaurant people knew him well and knew what he wanted before we sat down .We would reminisce and Morgan's memory was sharp. Then we would go back to his home and reminisce some more.
It's been 54 years since we first met Morgan and became Episcopalians at St. Peter's in Cheshire.
He was a great guy and will be missed by many.

Bishop Porteus, the very Best.
Remembering now what an outstanding, strong, righteous leader he was in CT. And this photo, a true classic. Thanks.
I extend to all family and loved ones, my sincere condolences.
Peace and Love,
