MORGAN STARK Obituary

STARK--Morgan B.

It is with deep sadness that Bonnie and I acknowledge the passing of Morgan and extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, Sidney, his sons Nick and Mason, his daughter-in-law, Jackie and his grandchildren Dante and Nicolette. He carried the extraordinary distinction of being a Grand Slam colleague for 47 years. We were competitors, he was a client, we were partners, and best of all, we were friends. Over the years we were partners in establishing the Wall Street Run for the Heart Association, we were partners at Granite Capital and finally at Ramius. That says it all about the character of this man. He was generous in so many ways and was a mentor to so many throughout his life. One could always count on Morgan for advice and counsel no matter who you were or whatever the subject, and so many at Ramius did. His passion and his presence will leave a big void and I will personally miss him. Tom Strauss
