I came across my funeral tribute delivered at the Funeral Service of a dear friend and former co worker.
His name was MR. JOHN MORGAN JR.
Some of you may remember him.
I am sharing it with you now in his memory.
Tribute
“ I feel so honored to be here today and to have been chosen as the Funeral Director
entrusted to care for Mr. Morgan. More importantly, I am grateful for the opportunity his family has given me to share with you some memories of the gentle man I came to know.
Dad worked with many people over the years. Growing up, I saw them come and go. Mr. Morgan came along toward the end of my dad’s professional life, a time when he needed more help than ever, a lonely time. Dad, Not the young “ on fire” funeral director he once was, but an aging, weakened, stoke victim. Mr. Morgan not only worked with my father, he befriended him in a manner that spoke volumes about the Christian man he was.
So called Friends are easy to come by when you are at your high point in life, but when you are not, they can be hard to find. True friends, like Mr. Morgan don’t boast, name drop or seek the limelight. He simply saw a void and tried to fill it the best way he could for as long as he could.
Mr. Morgan offered encouragement to me when he sensed I needed it. His counsel and wisdom guided me through many trying times.
Often people like Mr. Morgan go unnoticed by many around them. However, the impact he made on our family is indelible.
When the time came for him to finally retire, he even found his replacement for me.
I would describe Mr Morgan as a “quiet fire”calm, peaceful, serene a Christian spirit
Compassionate and Dutiful.
Thanks again to the family for allowing me
to walk that last mile with him.”
