We are very sorry for your loss. Uncle Hugh was a wonderful uncle with a loving family. I´ll always remember the huge family parties at the Morgan house and Uncle Hugh smoking his pipe!

To the large and ever growing Morgan family. I also was one of the Picker people who worked with Hugh. I´m convinced that he loved Picker mainly because everything we made was some shade of green. He sure loved his Irish roots. My wife Helen and I got reacquainted with Hugh at Holy Angels. We saw him most Sundays and at weekday Masses. He always headed to beartown lakes to walk after daily Mass. I had the pleasure of seeing him most Tuesdays at Anna Maria. Like he did for so many people over the years, I took him the Eucharist and we reminisced about Picker. He loved the digital picture frame he had and always pointed out the kids by name. I will miss those Tuesdays. What a great person he is. God will be happy to see him. Chuck Blouir

Hugh,Suzanne and the rest of the Morgan Family. It´s been our pleasure to know
Hugh Sr. for many years at Holy Angels. The best words I can say to you is that he was a "Gentleman´s Gentleman". Few know the story, but without your Uncle Pat and Hugh´s help, Holy Angels would never have been built. As our Ignatius motto says "Men for others". Hugh was truly that and more! It´s been our privilege to know him and he surely left he mark in our community. Thank you for sharing him!

Morgan Family, always think of Hugh with a pipe and a smile. We are sorry that we are not there to be with you at this difficult time. We are thinking of you as a big family with a combination of smiles and tears today. Hope that smiles will be with you for a lot longer!

I worked with Hugh for many years at Picker X-ray. I am sure that at some point in his life Hugh must have gotten angry with somebody, but I never saw it the whole time I knew him. He was the gentlest of all gentlemen.
