Obituary of Ronald Victor Morgan
Morgan: Ronald Victor
Ronald passed away with his family by his side at Fairfield Park Nursing Home, Wallaceburg, ON, on Saturday, May 12, 2018 at the age of 87.
Born in Chatham, Ronald was the son of the late Victor and Florence (nee Wood) Morgan.
Retired from a great career with Chatham Hydro and Union Gas, Ron spent many happy years sailing with his wife Fran as a member of the Erieau Yacht Club in his hand built "Eau Buoy". He was also a stained glass and woodworking craftsman as well as a BBQ aficionado. Ron served for many years with the Chatham Kent Regiment as a Major. His greatest joy was being a proud and doting grandfather and great-grandfather.
Beloved husband of 64 years to the late Mary Frances (nee Sherman) Morgan (2016).
Loving father of Mary "Malu" Comboye of Port Lambton and Robert and Pauline Morgan of White Rock, B.C.

Fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews.
