Paul and Fran Morgan were close friends of my parents', and I have many very fond memories of them throughout my life! As a child, I loved being at their house. It was always fun at Paul and Fran's house! I also have treasured memories of vacations together at the Y Camp. Paul was a sweet, funny, enthusiastic man who clearly adored Fran and Jack, Mike, and Betty. I feel fortunate to have known him and to have such great memories of him.
I remember Paul for so many stories that he shared, such as telling a couple misbehaving kids in Sunday School that their mother was going to wonder why they had to come home early.
I remember him being especially proud of his sporty Toyota. He showed up a few months later having traded cars. He confessed that the sporty model was too hard for him to get in and out!
I still remember his grand-daughter's Xmas wedding as the most beautiful I ever attended. The beautiful red/green/white plaid dresses with gold accents and the church was filled with the scent of the pine boughs. I also remember the errant little fake ring on the ring-bearer pillow rolling down under several aisles. I think Dot was on one side and I was on Ken's other side trying to get him from stop laughing!
Paul, it was bad enough missing Fran and now I'll be missing you. Be with God with your Fran in his glory. My prayers to your family members as they deal with your passing.
Paul was a special friend to my dad, John Bath. He and Fran will always be remembered for their caring and support during the challenging times in my parents lives.
My thoughts are with Paul's family and friends. I was privileged to be his pastor for over three years and to officiate at Fran's service. He was a kind and gentle man who will be missed by many.
