    We were shocked and saddened to hear that Joe has passed away. He was popular in our neighborhood and would stop to make friendly conversation with passers-by, often with his beloved dog beside him. His generosity in helping others was well-known. We will miss him.

    Faye, I regret hearing about Joe's passing and pray that you and the family will rest in the loving peace of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I was a classmate of Joe's at Rocky Mount Senior High. We had a great class, and it is always sad to lose of our dear friends.

    I have so many childhood memories of the Morgan family growing up next door. Being just a kid, I thought Joe was the coolest dude around. Nothing he couldn't do, the jack of all trades. He showed me how to tie a necktie the first time I ever wore one. He and Faye were always kind to me and they raised 3 great kids. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.
