Subject: Bob Morgan passed away
Hello,
My Uncle, "Bob" Norbert Robert Morgan, Jr. passed away and he was part of USL baseball in the early ’60s.
In fact, you have a photo on your website that he’s in.
(he is middle row, third from left in the 1964 baseball photo)
"Coach Bob" Morgan died Friday morning, 4-18-08, at Ochsner Medical Center after a long struggle with chronic illnesses. Loving husband, father, and grandfather, he was the founder and director of Bob Morgan Athletics; he dedicated his life to developing healthy, confident children through sports in Lafayette and in Baton Rouge.
A native of New Orleans, Bob loved golf, fishing, crawfish, the Grand Hotel, the History Channel, and Jesuit High School. He was a passionate American, a former Marine, alumni of USL in Lafayette, an enthusiastic but terrible dancer, and a teacher above all.
He is survived by his wife, Patricia Guillet Morgan, two daughters, Margaret Morgan and Marelle Morgan, three sons, Michael Morgan, Mark Morgan, and Daniel Froeba, and five grandchildren, Marcus, Alex, Kaleigh, Hunter, and Colton. His pride in and love for his family had no limits, and he extended those feelings to his close associate Randy Maum and his family.
Visitation at Rabenhorst East is scheduled for Sunday, 4-8 p.m. and Monday, 10-12:30. The funeral service, to be conducted by Father Jerry Martin, is set for 12:30 at Rabenhorst East.
Sincerely,
Tara Morgan Bryant
