I remember Morgan arriving at our Halloween party in a limousine dressed as satan.
He, of course, won the contest!!
He was a great sport and I couldn´t have asked for a better business partner.
He was kind and generous and brilliant!
I still miss him!!

Dear Elizabeth, JJ, and Allison,
Please forgive the tardiness of my reply, I only learned
yesterday of Jay's passing. As the memories I reflected on

known Morgan James Wilbur III. I express my deepest
sympathies for your loss.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Our loss is heaven's gain. Jay lived life to the fullest. He brought such joy and happiness to everyone around him. You couldn't help but to smile when he was in the room. As I sit here reflecting back on what Jay meant to my family and I, we consider ourselves very lucky having had the opportunity to spend time with Jay and Elizabeth here in Atlanta just this past month. We will never forget the 15 minute ride in his new toy (lexus), which actually only equated to a 2 minute ride, due to the kid in Jay (pushing all the buttons and twisting all the knobs). A husband, father, and friend to so many people. Jay will not only be remembered for the person he was, but also how he made each and everyone of us feel as well. We will always be there for you.

Elizabeth you and Morgan had the Special love story of the century.Morgan would want you to be happy, to continue your life by loving all life has to offer , He enjoyed every minute he had on this earth and especially the time he had with you . He was a proud man to always have you by his side and on his arm. His face glowed when he saw you walk into a room. I remember the Sweet kisses he always was giving you . The two of you showed Chris and I how to enjoy life. We so enjoyed our Special Trips ,Places we would never had ventured to. Our whole lives changed being Friends with the two of you. I've never met a more loving couple in my life. I have thousands of pictures to remind me how Special you both have been to Chris & I.

Elizabeth, MJ, Allison and Rosie,
As you all know, Morgan was much more than just a business partner. He was also an especially close personal friend.
Perhaps it is because I am older than Morgan that I have become more aware of my own mortality and, therefore, Morgan's passing has affected me even more profoundly.
I can't imagine calling Rainmaker and not hearing Morgan's pleasant, laughing voice.
He was always honest and truthful in every transaction.
He was always a gentleman and a gentle man.
The best way I can think of to honor his memory, is to try to be more like him.
I'm sure my wife, Marianne, would welcome that as well.
Kindest regards,
Frank J. Cantafio

My Precious Elizabeth,
Your wonderful sweet husband was a “one of a kind” and had a personality plus that made you love him instantly. Jay was always happy and smiling and so much fun to be around and it was because he had the love of his life, you sweet Elizabeth. Everyone that saw you knew you two were so in love… you two made the “Sun Run” at living life to the fullest. Jay was so intelligent, full of life, and had such a generous heart that let you know he was a gift from heaven. Being together with you and Jay, traveling, sharing many happy times together will be treasured forever. He will always be in our hearts and in our memories. Love you so much.

Elizabeth,
I want to share a few thoughts about Jay. When you stop, close your eyes and visualize our Jay, he was a very bright, energetic, adventurous, fun person with a heart of pure gold. Many of us wish we could have shared those same qualities. He loved to travel with you, do things together with you, and truly loved you. I don’t think he ever met a person he didn’t like and truly a person that touched the lives of many. He ruined me though! I will always have a bottle of Cognac XO close at hand and occasionally take a nip in honor of my friend. He will always be with us, in our hearts and in our memories. The times we shared will always be treasured. Our prayers are with you and the family. God Bless.

I would like to thank everyone for thinking of my Dad and writing something about him. Dad loved people and was a vivacious, social creature who loved life and enjoyed it to the fullest. I was lucky enough to spend the past few years with him in the same city and office. Dad made me the man I am today, and I hope I am fortunate enough to pass on some of his qualities to my children in the future. Dad, I love you, and we will miss you.

I was truly saddened to read of Jay's death today. He was a great guy and I had the priviledge of working with him in the home health field a number of years ago.

It breaks my heart to hear about Morgan. When first meeting Morgan, I knew he was genuine, a gentlemen. He gave you respect, he would make you feel like an old friend. After spending a few days with Morgan on a business trip I came to know and appreciate an intelligent, easy going man who had a great sense of humor. I’ll never forget the time him and I sang a karaoke song on that trip, we both couldn’t sing worth a darn, but we had fun doing it. Morgan was truly a man of high caliber, I’m grateful to have had crossed paths with him.
M J & Rosie, Allison and Elizabeth my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. God Bless You!

This is truly shocking news. Morgan was one of those people that you could spend hours or days talking to. He was just so very kind and made you feel at ease when you talked to him. I enjoyed calling the office and speaking with him, even for those brief conversations. Being from Florida, Morgan is the perfect example of what a Southern Gentleman should be. He will be truly missed, especially his laugh! To everyone he left behind, my heart and prayers go out to you.

I met Jay 34 years ago when he worked with Mead-Johnson Laboratories and I had begun my first job with a group physicians' office. Whenever Jay walked in the door, he always had a huge smile on his face. Jay kindly provided me with Enfamil for my son's entire first year of life. He spoke often of Allison and Jay with such pride. He was one of the kindest men I've ever known.
May your memories bring you comfort and the love of God bring you peace.
