William Woodrow "Bill" Morgan Jr.

It's now April, 2022, and I just learned of Bill's leaving us. From the time I was in his English 103 class, to his being part of the committee that got me into grad school at ISU on an assistantship, to my putting insulation under his front porch as a paid (by him) summer job (one he I'm sure never forgot, considering the rumblings coming out from underground--like Hamlet's ghost), to the talks in his office and on his porch about sundry lit and life things, Bill played a most significant...

My Condolences go out to Eric and the Morgan Family. I am sorry for your loss and wish you peace. May God bless you and your family in this sensitive time and may the love from your family and friends help you get through this grief.

Dear Eric, Aimee and family, Sending condolences on the loss of your wonderful Dad. Hoping the times you spent together leave you with heartwarming memories. May these memories and the stories shared with friends and loved ones bring you comfort at this difficult time. With deepest sympathy and love.

I have very fond memories of Bill and his poetry classes, as well as our numerous corridor chats, when I crossed the pond in the 1980´s to embark on an M.A. He had an aura of tranquility about him, and helped make me feel at home. R.I.P.

My condolences to the Morgan family. Bill started teaching at ISU just 4 years after my dad did (Harold Boyd) and they became friends. He also stayed friends with my mother, the late Marilyn Boyd, until her passing. I fondly remember summer evenings as a child we were all invited over to his house. Bill always treated me like a real person and not a little kid. Recently we had reconnected through Facebook. I am so sorry to hear he had been ill.

RIP Bill, a dear friend since his first Hardy summer course in England in 1979, when he stayed with us in London. Luckily we did finally manage to visit Normal. We knew when we spent a few days with him & Ellen in Dorset in 2018 that would probably be our last face-to-face encounter. I will miss him very much.

Very sorry for you loss Eric. My sympathies for you and your family

I am just so sorry to learn of Dr. Morgan's passing. I was at ISU in the 70s and 80s, and, although I wasn't in any of his classes, I remember him well. He was such a kind and talented man. Praying for all of his family and friends. God bless you much.
