William Lucian Morgan Jr.

What a loss to his family and to the community! Mr Morgan was our history teacher and as such taught us to always look at both sides of every story, to question life around us and most of all to react to life with thought, compassion and integrity. He was always fair and treated ALL of us as persons of value. Bill Morgan was a shining example of adulthood to a group of very impressionable young people in his classes. We'll miss him at our 50th reunion this year. Our deepest sympathy to his...

It was often that Mr. Morgan walked through the halls at C.K. McClatchy High School, always with a smile and warm "Hello" or "Good Morning" to students as he passed. This was impressive as it was the first time in my years as a student that I witnessed a principal interacting with students in such a kind, personable manner.

Several years ago, my husband, Selwyn, and I performed with our big band (30's-40's-50's Dance Band) at the Sutter Club. Mr. Morgan was seated at a table with...

Mr. Morgan was a great principal!! At our Class of '85 graduation, he shook the hand of my boyfriend (now husband Darrin Pradie),greeted him by his first name and congratulated him on all his VICA awards, and all his wood shop projects that won awards. Darrin didn't even know Mr Morgan had been watching. Mr Morgans' words made a lasting impression on Darrin.

Bill Morgan was always an admired Principal and great person to have known during my attending C.K.McClatchy
High School. He helped us form a new
registration type during my attendence
there and Bill was instrumental in getting that program done.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

A couple years after graduating from McClatchy High School in 1969, I went to work at the school district's administration building and, for a time, got to know Bill pretty well. For me, I felt immediately comfortable calling him "Bill".

Maybe a dozen or so times we walked up to Sam's Hof Brau to have lunch and all the while he would eagerly seek my opinion about current events locally and beyond. We were both rapt observers of the unfolding Watergate epic. I was flattered by his...

Dear Morgan Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Mr. Morgan's passing. What a wonderful man. I will hold up your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
(and sincere condolences from our entire staff here at the dental office)

Mr. Morgan didn't put up with any nonsense but would always stop and take time to listen to his students. We were encouraged to do our best because we didn't want to disappoint him. Thanks to his family for sharing him with us.

Mr. Morgan was a great teacher and really cared about his students, and what was going on in their lives, always had time to listen and help.
