From Gina Fischer

Obviously Morgan was always in a good mood and smiling, so singling out just a couple memories is difficult.

Some of my favorite memories involve his impersonations of PSB personality Huell Howser. (We both have a closeted love for Huell.) Morgan would sit in his cubicle (right next to mine) and crack me up by saying things Huell said on his tv-show like, "How do you like your medudo?" "What brought you here today?" "Whoa-wee, that is neat!" "Isn't this just the coolest thing you've ever seen?!" in a deep southern Huell-like voice. His imitation was quite good and always amusing.

Morgan would also imitate Huell's physical gestures, most notably, how Huell sticks his microphone in unsuspecting people's faces and asks them dumb questions in his overly-jovial southern accent. It never failed to make me giggle. (If you've seen Huell's show before, you'll understand why this is so funny.)

Morgan was just so content and carefree and it made life in the frigid office we work in that much better.

He was always willing to share a hilarious joke or a funny news story, to help ease the boredom of the workday, especially if he thought I would have an interest in it. He was so thoughtful and funny, and that's what I love about Morgan. I'll probably never have a boss who is just so cool.

I love and miss Morgan dearly. My thoughts go out to his family, who I know he loved so much!
