James Morgan and I roomed together my 2d semester at MTSC. Had a great time and considered him a good bud for so many years. Thought the most of his Mom during those years. Certainly sad news.
We were life long friends. We had many great times together. We attended the same schools together from grammar school through college. His mother , Rachel ( Red) was like a second mother to me. I was always welcome at their house – day or night. My sincere condolences go out to his his family. He will greatly missed!
