CMSgt. Herbert Henry Morgan U.S. Air Force, Retired

On January 19th, in the light of a brilliant sunrise, CMSGT (Ret) Herbert Henry Morgan passed from this world into the waiting arms of his Lord. His was a richly lived life, filled with love of family, friends, and country. Herbert is survived by his wife of nearly sixty years, Margareta, daughters; COL (Ret) Elisabeth M Stafford MD and Trudel C Simon, sons-in-law; COL (Ret) Arthur T Stafford III and CWO (Ret) R. Frank Simon, grandchildren; Margaret E Jameson, Andrew Morgan Simon, Emily C Stafford, Barbara L Stafford, and great grandson, Bradley A Jameson. As a veteran of WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, Herbert’s service to his country within the Army Air Corps and Air Force spanned from 1942-1971. His patriotism, selfless service, and dedication have been an inspiration to his entire family and many more whose lives he touched over the years. His happy, good-hearted outlook on life made him a joy to be with until the very end. Although we will dearly miss his physical presence among us, his spirit will forever live on in our hearts. The family would like to thank all those who helped care for Herbert in the final months of his life, to include extended family, friends, and staff at Silver Tree Rehabilitation Center, Esplanade Gardens, and Odyssey House Hospice. The tender, dignified care rendered to this veteran at the San Antonio Military Medical Center was also greatly appreciated. Memorial donations can be made to the Disabled Veterans of America or the charity of one’s choice in lieu of flowers.
