Survivors include daughters Kathryn (James) St. Clair of Venice, FL; Jane (Keith) Nosbusch of Mequon, WI; Patricia Morgan of Lake Wylie, SC; and sons James P.

He was preceded in death by life-giving parents, Francis I. and Katherine (Grube) Morgan, sisters Rosemary and Mary Halmo (Louis), brother-in-law, Robert Lasky, and sister-in-law, Imelda Bonnell (Blair), Kenosha, WI. Morgan was a graduate of Marquette University College of Engineering, a Registered Professional Engineer in Wisconsin, and a member of many local, national and international business and professional organizations. He received many awards and retired at age 65 after a 23 year career as President/CEO of the National Fluid Power Association and simultaneously, for 18 years, Secretary of the Geneva-based International Technical Committee for Fluid Power. Morgan was a decorated veteran of the Normandy invasion with the Army Corps of Engineers. After victory in Europe, his reassignment to the Pacific theater was scuttled by Japan's surrender. He was an active member of Tuckaway Country Club and St. Mary's Faith Community in Hales Corners (Milwaukee), WI and The Plantation Golf and Country Club and Epiphany Cathedral in Venice, FL. Besides family, his hobbies included golf, global travel, genealogy, and the pipe organ. The celebration of life continues through the richness and harmonics of the Epiphany Cathedral bells, partially funded through a gift from the Morgan Family Charitable Trust.
