Thinking of you and mom today.. I miss you guys so much..life is not the same.. I hope you guys come see me in my dreams tonight..

My heart is hurting and I find myself distracted everyday with thoughts of things I could of or should of said.. but then I remember something you and mom taught me.. You cannot change the past only strive for a better future..so that is what I will try to do! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! I miss you guys!! Kisses from me and the kids.. hopefully I will see you 2 in my dreams tonight!

Brother-In-Law………… 3 words used to describe a relative,…however,  that description doesn't do justice to such a remarkable human being as Herbert Scott Morgan!
It's now been 25 day's since Herb's death, and yet I'm still at a loss for words with which to pay my respects to this individual, who was my sister's husband, partner, companion, and protector, for o' so many years!
Herb was also my “friend”…..and who for the past 13 years was also my “roommate”!
The memories are plentiful, some good, some not so much, (smile) but somehow Herb's sense of humor was always the method used to cure any of our occasional disagreements.
His mind was sharp, and o' what a memory!  I think if he tried hard enough, he could have remembered the moment of his birth!!
He was known around town as the “joke teller”, but he will also be remembered for his kindness, and his willingness to go out of his way to help others with whatever was needed.
Herb's desire to volunteer wherever and whenever he could, in order to  provide some assistance was very well known throughout the community.
His church provided his friends and support network, and he literally practiced what he preached, as he felt at home at a podium, be it in church, or in a classroom where he mentored students and taught them the ability to laugh, and enjoy the message provided in his yearly reading of Dr. Seuss's “The Cat In The Hat”.
Herb found that the local casino's provided all the stimulation he needed, and win or lose, that was his form of relaxation………and he always had his array of jokes to tell anyone who would stand still long enough for him to rattle them off one after another! 
Although Herb's 99 yr. old Mother, and his 2 children and 4 grandchildren live on the E. Coast, he seldom failed to keep the lines of communication open, and he made it a point to call his mother to cheer her up, with his “hello mother dear” greeting each and every Sunday!
Herb's passing has left a void in the neighborhood, and he will surely be missed by all those who had the good fortune to have made his acquaintance, and yet, I personally find some peace in knowing he is now w/ my sister and other friends and loved ones, and is surely keeping God, and those in the heavens above laughing along with his numerous jokes.
Rest in Peace Herb………you are sorely missed!
Peace and Love………Your bro-in-law …..Craig Newton

Dad,

There are so many good memories and lessons you shared with me.  You taught me to be patient and tolerant of others who were testing me, to treat everyone with respect, and what character means.  My life has been a winding road of uneven paths, but I've never forgotten the importance of being honest and true to myself and to help others in need.  People may act inhumanely towards me, or the ones I love, but the best work is that of service to humanity, the higher cause.  You were my father, my teacher and my best friend.  Thanks for everything, Dad.  It's going to be hard to carry on without you, but we will do so in your honor.  Love, Scotty.

I knew Herb from Steele Wines Farmer's market and Konocti Vista Casino...and just around town!
Herb, you were about the dearest, sweetest man I've ever met. Just seeing your smiling face brought me all kinds of joy. Thank you for being you. ;-)
To Herbs family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your beautiful, heart-felt words here shows just how much you all loved each other. You will always have that!

Linda

Harb came into the casino every Sunday and he always said to me" Hello Young Lady " He the only person to ever call me a Lady. RIP you will always to in my heart and more on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who has posted and continues to post kind things about my dad.. He was what everyone has described and so much more.. I miss him and my mother so much but have realized I can't change the past I can only make sure they are remembered in the future.. I will use everything they have taught me and know that they will guide me from above.. Until we meet again.. I love and miss you both!

Death is something that is unavoidable and so is the pain.. but I know how much you loved your mother and father and it shows in the way you are raising your children.. there is a piece of both of them in all of you..and I'm sure they are proud of you! I pray that you and the kids will get thru this.. RIP MR.Morgan

I have fond memories working the elections with Herb and Conni. Herb always kept our election board laughing. His sense of humor will be missed by many.

Herb, I'll never know how you could possibly remember so many jokes & riddles.  You certainly kept your family & friends laughing, and groaning at times too!
Much of the time, you were a quiet & tolerant family man, also giving much of your time to the military, community organizations, and to your church.
Thanks for being a partner to my sister, and a father & grandfather to your family.  May your children and grandchildren find comfort in their many memories of the fun times they spent with you.  I'm sorry we all didn't get the chance to say good-bye to you.  I pray you have found Heavenly Peace.
Your sister-in-law,
Barbara Flanders, and brother-in-law, Ted too

Dear Family of Herb Morgan, 
We will miss Herb's weekly telephone calls to us at Jackson Family Home, where his Mom, Rose Gage resides. Herb always had a joke for me, he let me know how he was feeling, what the weather was like in California and an up date on Craig. Herb was always concerned about his Mom, Rose.  Rose was always brighter and had a smile after she had a good visit with her son. Rose always told Herb, "I love you very much and don't forget it". As we grow older there is such a different bond between children and their parents, as Rose is 99  1/2 years young, the bond becomes very special, and since there were miles between them, there were always loving conversations between the two of them and lots of laughter..Herb always started his visit with Rose,"Hello Mother Dear" with  laughter in his voice and I am sure a twinkle in his eye..So long dear friend,you will always be in my heart and  we will give Rose loving care and Fisher will make her laugh and be happy...Love Sanna Jackson and Family

Uncle Herb, it was never a dull moment when you were around. Your sense of humor was unlike any other.  I remember all of the Christmas's and Thanksgivings that we have shared over the years.  You were always so good to us all and will be missed.

Dear grandpa,
We all love you and miss u so much and times are pretty rough right now but I know with you and grandma looking over us we can make it through this I know I'll see you again so until then I love you

Dearest Herb
I will always miss and reember all the fun times,trips, & endless jokes u shared with me,beth,connie on all our advntures. As an adult I look back on all the advise u gave us as kids and use it today with my children. You will be greatly missed. But you can now watch over beth,scott and the grandchildren from above. Give connie a hug and tell her we said hello. I will keep my eye on everyone here but know beth is doing a fine job as always will..... love ya

Dear Grandpa ,
i know that we didn't see each other all the time and we weren't as close as you and Joey ,but i loved you with all my heart and I know you loved me too. Iwish things were differnt and that you weren't gone . I keep thinking that maybe if i could just see you one last time things would change. i'm not really good with things like this and I honestly am not quite sure what to say ,but I love you and wherever you are i hope you found your peace

I don't know him personally but I know he raised a great women in his daughter so he had to be a great person to do that....may he watch over her and shower her with his love from the clouds in heaven...rest in paradise Herbert Morgan

I never had the chance to meet you in person but your daughter is one of the most caring people i know so I'm sure you and your wife must of been too.. Rest in Peace

Sorry for your loss. Keep ur head up nd know he is watching over all of you! Yous are in my thoughts nd prayers, if u ever need to talk or need anything Im right next door..

Bethany,
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. He was a great man.

I'm sure you were an amazing man. Bethany told me some great things about you on our mini trip. RIP

We wont be able to dance at my wedding or watch my kids grownup.. but know that I will be looking for you in everything we do.. so touch my shoulder or make a warm breeze blow bye.. that will be our sign.. until we meet again.. I love you with all my HEART YOUR ONE AND ONLY DAUGHTER BETHANY BELLE MORGAN
