When I first got out of school I worked with Morgan at ADP. I remeber thinking how smart Morgan was and that he must have known everything. As I got to know Morgan a little better I was likewise impressed with what a great person he was. I remeber when he left the Salt Lake Valley I came over to help him move. I felt that Morgan would do just about anything for anyone. My condolences to his family.

I worked with Morgan at Clover Club Foods and at ADP. He was such a great guy - I really enjoyed my association with him. He was so funny and easy to work with. He helped me out so many times, when I needed some good programming help.
