Richard, gone but never forgotten. What a blessing to have known you and your big heart. You are truly missed.

Richard was the very first rep who called on me when I opened my first store. He made me laugh when I wanted to cry and laugh harder when I wanted to scream. He will forever be one of my very favorites. I know you're in heaven my sweet one ... there's no "mema-looking" clothing up there. xox.

Heaven gained a wonderful, funny and caring man when Richard got there. I am sure he is keeping everyone laughing. His smile would really light a room.
I was blessed to call Richard Morgan my friend. He was always there when you needed him. I just wonder if there are plenty of 3/4 sl. shirts in heaven. LOL (inside joke at Foxcroft) he did enjoy the business and taking care of his customer. He will be greatly missed by all. Love you Richard. RIP

Another Richard memory as we both loved seeing and feeling the F 16 burst into the skies and as quickly zoom away...every time he said he would give his right arm to be a passenger...

Of course we loved Richard, with that Cheshire Grin and always a pun about something or someone....He made his presence known by many.Will miss your light...  

And Margaret, it is your time to take really good care of yourself....See you at the beach.  Hugs......Laura Cole

Jack and I were so sorry to hear about Richard's death.  What a fine and funny man he was.  I'll always remember laughing with him over the wonderful stories he told.  Emily and Tommy were blessed to have had him in their lives, as were so many of his friends, and he was blessed in return.  I'll miss seeing him dancing and am so glad to know that he'll be in the Hall of Fame...a richly deserved honor.  RIP, Richard.....you'll be missed 'til we all meet again.

One of first unusual conversations with Richard, a total stranger, was about torque converters...he was surprised that I knew anything about the subject and I was equally surprised that he knew anything about the subject.   We delighted in that memory for the next 15 years ...

Richard will be missed by all who called him friend.  His million-watt smile could certainly light up any room.  I have many memories of many good times with Richard which I will treasure.  But I know that he is in heaven now, pain-free and smiling!

My condolences go out to Richard's family, and to Margaret for taking such good care of him.  He will will missed by all.  I'm sad he didn't make it for his upcoming Hall of Fame induction, but glad he knew he was to be honored.

I'm so sorry Richard's gone. He was so much fun! We had a ball as kids with Richard, Emily and Tommy Lucas on Lake Murray. He and Emily would make these incredible meals and entertained all of us, even the kids. I am thankful I saw him a few months ago in his beautiful clothes and with that playful smile. My prayers are with all of us that miss him so.

Richard was such a kind and giving person. Always smiling.  He will be missed by so many but we are all so blessed to have known him. Prayers to Margaret and his family.

Being one of " the youngin s" in the shag world Richard was a pure delight. As there are many great souls to look up to in our world , he truly stood out for many, many reasons but mainly because he always had a smile,joke and a hug. Chris and I will miss you deeply and give Margaret, Brandi and the rest of his family our sincere condolences. He will be missed and I sure will have a toast for him at his induction into the Hall of Fame this year! Love you Richard and I am sure you are cracking them up in heaven as we speak.

To Richard's Family.....Mike and I will miss him very much. Yesterday as you were celebrating Richard's Life, we were here at home in Ocean Drive, celebrating another Life, my husband's birthday. Richard and Mike were in the Clothing business together for almost 30 years and we saw him at Shows the two would attend all over the Carolinas, Virginia and Atlanta. We will miss your laugh and stories. There is a void.    Sarah Richardson, N. Myrtle Beach

Can't believe he's gone...he was my hero! Loved him to pieces and will miss him so much. Just not the same walking in some 'place' and not see him with that huge smile!

Everyone who knew Richard will miss him so much.  I know that he had a great send off yesterday.  I regret that we were out of town and could not make it. He was such a good hearted person and could keep you laughing.  Always enjoyed the times when we weren't in a club and could listen to his jokes. Sympathy to all of his family.

Will miss him forever.  Many thanks to Margaret for taking care of him for us. "See you on the other side kid".

In my years of knowing Richard, I cant say I ever saw him when he wasnt Happy and laughing, Always a treat to be around, I have lots of fond memories of Lunches with Richard from Shealey's to Chic Filet..My Deepest condolences to Margaret and his family..Richard will be deeply missed.

Your laughter will be missed!  May you rest in peace.  Praying for Richard's family that God the comforter will be with each of you.

Richard excelled in the many facets of his life and deserves every accolade posted here. My children will always remember times at Lake Murray when he fed and entertained us lavishly with Emily and Tommy Lucas,  to whom he was a great father. Once a friend, always a friend, a master of human relations. He was pure sunshine. Jean Kirkley

Never at a loss for a good joke or a funny story! Always a good friend for 40 plus years. Miss you already bud. Bob ward

May his sole rest in peace.  What a great guy who will be missed by many.

Margaret, so sorry for your loss. Jerry and Janie Phipps

Our sympathy is extended to Margaret and family. Truly sorry to hear the sad news of Richard's passing.

Our hectic world is in short supply of his like. He made his own sunshine and loved to share it.

Our deepest condolences to Margaret and the family.  We will truly miss him.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

May this candle shine bright in your memory...you were a good friend in High School and will surely be missed.

I cried every time I was with Richard because I was laughing so hard my eyes would water.  He  was a wonderful spirited person with a very gentle side.
Rest in peace my friend and thank you for everything you did for me.  Love you.   Pam Wyke

Margaret and family we are thinking of you and the loss of that sweet man. Richard was always a happy smiling guy. Loved his jokes. I'm sure in heaven he is shagging and having a drink with Mike Bloodworth and telling old war stories . We will miss him terribly love to Margaret. Carole n Terry John

To Margaret, Lori, and Brandi~ so sorry to hear of Richards' passing...I am praying for peace and comfort during this time. Love, Sandra Killion

I'll miss you Richard. Always a smile & a joke. Best story teller I ever met. Many fond memories. God bless your family.

I am Richard's cousin in Raleigh, NC.  He died so young compared to me.  I remember he was always such a happy person.  Condolences to his ex-wives and fiancé.  I am so glad I got to see him at our Aunt Mary's funeral.  
Love,
 Faylene Morgan Roper

We have known Richard a long time - Danny longer than me, but I can't ever remember a time when I didn't know him.  He has the best personality and wit of anybody I've ever met and he was such a good, caring person.  It will be hard not to ever see him again and that contageous smile of his, but I'm glad he isn't in pain anymore.  Condolences go out to his family!

A loved one is a treasure of the heart and to lose a loved one is like losing a piece of yourself.
But the love that this person brought you...did not leave, for the essence of the soul lingers.
It cannot escape your heart, for it has been there forever.
 
Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal you.
The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness you shared...will make you strong.
You'll come to realize that your time together, no matter how long, was meant to be,
and that you were blessed to have such a precious gift of love in your life.
 
Keep your heart beating with the loving memories and trust in your faith to guide you through. 
Know that though life moves on...the beauty of love stays behind to surround and embrace you.
Your loved one has left you that...to hold in your heart forever.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. -Psalm 116:15

Till we meet again my southern gentleman!

Richard was one of the best! I am so fortunate to have been able to work with and learn from him the past few years. I will miss all of his jokes and the way he never failed to make you laugh. Richard was a truly genuine person and so much fun to be around. My thoughts and prayers go out to Margaret and his family. He will be greatly missed!!

I was very blessed to have Richard as my clothing rep for 13 years. He was a legend in his industry. I remember when we first met he told me he didn't want to just sell to me one time. But that he wanted to sell to me, me make a profit, and then he would sell to me again. That began a relationship that I will always cherish. Through his wisdom, guidance, support and encouragement, he helped me achieve the success that our boutique has today. I will forever be indebted to him.
My heartfelt condolences go out to Margaret and all his family and friends. We were all very blessed to have him in our lives!
May you rest in peace my sweet friend. I will see you again one day in heaven for eternity!

RIP Richard, we were classmates at Hugh Morson and Enloe and will always remember your smile and the love you had for Shagging.

I don't know where to start.....first I cannot believe he is gone.  What a joy he was to be around.....and I was married to him for 7 years!!!  We remained close all these years.....he was very close to my cousins and sisters and he met my son and was always telling me what I should do!  Shocker!  I always loved him....my best friend and I will miss him a lot.  I told him when I saw him last week and met Margaret, what an angel she is and that he should be grateful she was in his life....I thank her for all she has done.   Love always.....Boots

As a retailer and close personal friend, we are all suffering a great loss.  He made us all laugh, but his great big heart made us all think about business in a very positive way.  I will miss him terribly as will my Fashion Gallery staff.  He always had a big smile and words of encouragement for us all.  God bless his family at at this sad time.  May we all be as loving and kind as Richard was to each of us. My husband, Howard, and I will be with you on Sunday.  Prayers for each of you.  With great admiration and love for him, Linda and Howard Holden, Staunton, VA.

Richard was a great friend with a great sense of humor. In addition to keeping  everyone laughing, he was compassionate and caring. He will be missed by many.

Richard was our rep for our linen line Fridaze for the past year.  We feel that we were very lucky to have worked with Richard in his last year of life.  His sunshine personality brightens up every room and made us laugh with his witty sense of humor.  Most of all, Richard was loyal and knowledgeable and helped as much as he could during his time with us.  We will remember Richard fondly, and he will always be part of the Fridaze family.   

Joyce Tang and Everyone here at Fridaze

Richard was the bright light at the end of the tunnel. Our friendship went back at least 30 yrs. plus. The laughs and good times that we shared together will never be forgotten.  I truly will miss you my friend.  Thank you for putting smiles and laughter in our lives.

Richard was one of the funniest characters I have ever met. I will miss his sense of humor,his business advice and his friendship. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I can only think that Richard has already gotten God's ear and has him shaking his head. RIP my friend.

Richard was such a wonderful and fun person to have known. He made me laugh where I couldn't breathe. Emily, love and prayers go up for you and Tommy.

We have lost a wonderful man. Richard brightened up a room just by being in it. His sense of humor was infectious. He would have me laughing at his jokes even before he reached the punch line.

I will miss you my friend. Rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to Margaret and the family

JJust last week your smiling face that I remembered from High School crossed through my mind.  Our prayers and thouughts be with your family and Heaven is getting a "classy" guy.  RIP

Somewhere there is a court jester entertaining a room full of happy faces....perhaps it is Richard.
Rest in peace old friend.

Richard Morgan was a legend in his own
 time and he was sunshine in every life he touched. 

To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.  This is just a passage to a better life.

Yours,

Rest In Peace, Richard . It was a great life you gave others. We shall miss you , but  will not forget you!

Richard was a great guy! Richard & I went to Hugh Morson jr hi where I first met him. He & I then were at Enloe High together. He always had a big smile on his face! In the past few years, I reconnected with Richard. He was the still fun loving guy I remember. Rest in peace, Richard!

Margaret and the family are in my thoughts.
Richard will live on in our memories and war stories will continue to be told of his exploits for years and years to come.

My friendship with Richard goes back many years. He was always so much fun to be around and his presence would brighten up any room as soon as he walked in. Richard will live on in our "war stories" forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with Margaret and his family.
