Linda, So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing. Sincere condolences to you and your family.
To the Colbourne Family,
While you may not know me, Morgan sharpened my skates for a lifetime. It didnt matter if it was day or night, a holiday or a week day he was always open and had a smile on his face.
Those few moments of interaction with him very week were always pleasant and heartwarming.
Morgan has touched more people then we all realise because most people in the local skating world know him and remember his kindness.
I was blessed to have crossed paths with him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you celebrate a wonderful man’s life.
Regards,
Jeff

My condolences. Such a loss to us all. I have so many memories of my interviews with Morgan under the trees out in the backyard on Major’s path under the watchful eyes of “The Mother-in-laws.” The cast net he gave still hangs in my music room, I never could learn to throw it the way he showed me.

We both have very fond memories, I more than Dave of course as Morgan was such a large part of my childhood. He will truly be missed for all his shenanigans and his kind heart.

So sorry to hear of Morgan’s passing. Morgan was “Anybody’s friend, Everbody’s friend”
Very sorry to hear the passing of a really close friend. I’m still completely shocked by this and struggle each day passing by your home. You were a very special person to our entire neighbourhood always funny , the most positive person I ever met , you always carried a big smile, always found the good in everything, would give anyone the clothes off your back or anything else they wanted if you could. You had a big heart. I’ll miss our walks around the block , our fishing trips , all you thought me about skate sharpening, firearms and so much more. The nights you spent with us at darts , all your stories (and boy you had a lot) will all be missed. Even with your Parkinson’s you never let life get you down and you smiled through all of it and remained positive. I miss you so much. Rest my friend. Linda I’m here for Anything you need as always.
Linda, Brenda, Tracey and Kerri,

We are thinking of you at this time and wish you and the extended family all the best. Thanks for the memories Morgan love you. Sean and Anita.
To Morgan’s Family: I am so sorry to hear of Morgan’s Death. We grew up together in St. Anthony. He is my third cousin. Morgan was a great guy, admired by all who knew him. May you find comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by love and courage during these days. (the last time I saw Morg, he was down in Middle Cove Beach with his rubber boots on catching caplin by the bucket full!).
