To Sylvia & Family,
Sincere condolences to you and your family. Dick was a Master Musician. I will miss his presence on the jazz scene here in DC. I remember his phenomenal playing at Sam & Harry's downtown on 19th Street. His presence at the East Coast Jazz Festival was unparalleled.
Ronnie Wells, Butch Warren, Shirley Horne, Keter Betts and many others who have gone before will be celebrating his arrival to his heavenly home. Rest in Peace Dick!
Peace & Many Blessings,

To the Family of Dick Morgan:
Dick and I were classmates at Howard University School of Law. Dick was a wonderful friend with a generous spirit. The Howard University School of Law Family is honored to call Dick Morgan one of its own. While we are certain Dick will be missed, we know that the Heavens have just added a musical genius to its Heavenly Jazz Ensemble.
RIP Dick,

Dick and I have been friends since the days of "A Place Where Louie Dwells" and "W.H. Bone"...way back in the day. The kindest, gentleness, and accomplished man you could ever meet. He always had a smile and a hug for you. God Bless you, Dick, I'll think of you always whenever I hear my special song you always played for me...."The Bridge Over Trouble Waters"

It was an honor and a privilege to be in the trenches with you in our quest for higher education. Seeking donations to the Howard University School of Law Scholarship Fund is exemplary, and shows your love for the institution. I would recommend that everyone donate whatever they are moved to contribute in the name of our mutual friend.
