Edgar L. Morgan, Jr, 87, of Sugarloaf, passed away on Monday, January 25, 2021 at his home surrounded by his family.
Born in Fern Glen on July 24, 1933, he was a son of the late Edgar L. and Edna (Gernhardt) Morgan. He graduated from Black Creek Township High School and then Bloomsburg State College with a degree in Education. Ed began his career at Black Creek Township High School where he taught until 1971, and then he taught at Hazleton High School until 1993 when he retired.
When asked, what was his proudest accomplishment, Ed responded that it was marrying the love of his life, Linda, in 1957 and then having his 3 children. His family was his world and a smile would come to his face especially when his grandchildren and great grandchildren were the topic. He was also very proud of his service in the U.S. Army Airborne during the Korean War.
From Penn State Football and Phillies games, to umpiring, refereeing and his lengthy career as a high school baseball coach, Ed was also a lover of sports. He had a great record as a baseball coach and thought of his players as family. His knowledge of baseball trivia was second to none.
He will be greatly missed by his wife of 63 years, Linda (Margle) Morgan; sons: Perry Morgan and wife Mary, Bellefonte, PA; Thomas Morgan and wife Darlene, Winston Salem, NC; daughter, Carolyn Morgan of Conyngham; 7 grandchildren; 3 great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters: Hazel Dark; Joyce Rice; Lovey Lindenmuth; Evelyn Rittenhouse; and a niece, Bonnie Glendening.
Due to covid restrictions, a celebration of life will be held at a later time.
In lieu of flowers or food donations, memorial contributions may be sent to Sacred Heart Church, Weston, PA of which he was a member or The Twin County Lions Club, P.O. Box 147, Sheppton, PA 18248 of which he was a member for 60 years.
