WILLIAM MORGAN Obituary

MORGAN WILLIAM ARTHUR MORGAN, JR. "Bill" William Arthur Morgan Jr. "Bill", 75, died June 26, 2019, at his home in Bethesda, MD. He is survived by Ann Sullivan, his life partner, as well as his son, William Arthur Morgan III and his wife Tracey. He was predeceased by his son, Charles Scott Morgan. He had four grandchildren who were a light in his life - Madelyn, Nathaniel, Kathleen, and Connor. Bill spent his childhood years in a Central New York town called Auburn, NY. He graduated from Georgetown University, in Washington, DC in 1966 with a degree in Accounting. He worked his way up the corporate ladder with Bond Beebe, a mid-size accounting firm in the 1970's. He branched out and opened his own business in 1981 and never looked back. He grew the firm over the years to a prestigious and well-known company in the industry in Washington, DC. He was an avid golfer, playing many courses around the US as well as other parts of the world. He especially enjoyed relaxing and spending down time in the Outer Banks, NC. He went down there for over 40 years and embraced all that it had to offer. His favorite golf course at the Outer Banks was Currituck Club and he knew just about every inch of that course. He and Ann enjoyed travelling, especially cruising to various destinations in the Caribbean and most recently Cuba. At 50 years old he decided to branch out and earn his pilots license. He had his own plane and could frequently be seen buzzing the skies on the Mid Atlantic Seaboard. Family will receive friends on Monday, July 1 at Gawler's Funeral Home at 5130 Wisconsin Avenue, Washington, DC 20016 between the hours of 3 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. A memorial service will be held at Church of the Resurrection located at 3175 Paulskirk Drive, Ellicott City, MD 21042 at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, July 2, 2019. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society in William Morgan's name.

I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was my tax accountant for 31 years and I always appreciated his good advice and good cheer. My condolences.

Dear Bill, I was shocked and saddened to hear of your sudden passing last week. You have my best wishes and gratitude for the superior job and service you performed over several years during tax time. I believe you are in a magnificent place now where there is a golf course that exceeds your greatest dreams. As you step up to tee off I raise a glass of Champagne to toast you. You are a fine human being and wonderful person. All best forever. J.W. Washington, DC

I am so very saddened to hear of Bill's passing. He was my Mom's long, long, LONG-time accountant (and he did my taxes, too, for years, and then again this past year).
My Mom passed away in April of 2018 and I can't even express in words just how much Bill helped me during the past year, as I handled my Mom's final affairs, including the probate of her will. The process was extremely stressful and overwhelming, and I would have felt alone and lost trying to navigate it, except for one comforting, reassuring, trusted presence at the end of the phone line (Florida to Maryland): Bill. Always accessible, always caring, always patient with all my questions and anxiety and grief, through it all, there he was. My Mom stuck with him even after moving to Florida, saying having him do her taxes was such a comfort to her. And this past year, I really, really experienced and understood exactly what she meant--I felt it, too: Bill went far above and beyond, and I don't know what I would have done without him to help me navigate it all. I will miss him. He wasn't just an accountant, he was a caring human being. And that got me through so much this year. Bill, thank you, wherever you are. I suspect you had that same helpful, comforting, reassuring effect on everyone whose lives you touched.
