My Uncle David was a great man. I was so proud of him. He was an intellectual person. He was a knowledge seeker. He was always eager to share it with others. He had a empowering quality in his personality that screamed loudly that where there is a will there is a way. I will cherish our fond memories of being God niece. Being in another city our time spent together was short. But the small interactions I was fortunate enough to have , made me aware of how picky I was to have an uncle like Dr. David Morgan. Once he took time and took me on a field trip. It was significant that he considered my interest. He believed in quality. When others wanted intertainment, uncle David was working on self improvement . I only wish I could have had more time with this great man. I will cherish the find memory of to visiting the science museum with him. He was a great advisor. I remember being about 13 years old when he advised me to think about my future and know that I have control over it. He ask what I wanted to be when I grow up. When I replied a nurse he reminded me that nurses don't only have the lower to follow instructions. But Doctors have the power to make decisions that that can make a difference. Reach for the highest goal he would was hid message to me. I will greatly miss that even as an adult I consider him to have been the greatest and most positive male influence in my whole life. I will miss our phone conversations where I would call to inquire of this opinion. He was always willing to answer any question. I pray the hearts of my aunt Robena and family are comforted. Uncle David Morgan will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Uncle David.
I am just appalled to learn of the passing of this good friend. I knew that this tinme might come, but did not realize that it actually happened. Many find memories come immediately to mind of Dr. David E. Morgan, his wife Robena, and his family. Even though I earned a doctorate myself, and first met David, teaching at Eastern Kentucky University in Kentucky, still I am human with all the human frailties. I make mistakes. I get down sometimes. I get depressed. I get anxious about certain things. Always, though, I have known that I could count on this good friend to set me straight. I don't know how many times I have picked up the phone and called him "Out of the blue," for advice, and he was always there. Never I ever come away from a conversation feeling anything but uplifted in spirits. To say that I will miss him is an understatement, but I am encouraged to know that he is no longer suffering, for cancer is an awful thing. My identical twin brother is currently battling the disease himself. He is working with a doctor in Indianapolis, to treat it without chemotherapy. Only time will tell if the approach is doing any good. We feel that it just might be working. My thoughts, now, go out to Robena. I heard that she was not well herself. My thoughts and prayers go out to her. I will be in touch. In closing I just say that to all of you who read my words, and to all of you who were ever touched by the life of Dr. David E. Morgan, God's peace and many, many blessings to you and your families. I know that he would want me to say this, as his friend, for he always had similar words for me personally, and for anyone I ever heard him speak with when he left them. God bless you Dr. David E. Morgan, and may you be rewarded in heaven for all those lives you touched in a positive and forthright way.
Your former colleague, and one of your many friends, Dr. Jerry E. [Saltsman] Garrett
