To the family : I did not know any of Morgans family and yal did not know me but I had been his dental hygienist for many years. He was one of the sweetest kindest people. A very classy gentleman. I recently left that dental practice after 30 years and he was certainly a patient that I knew I would miss. I just heard of his passing and want each of you to know how very sorry I was to hear this I know that he will be greatly missed by many. In my prayers, Sharon Brown
