Lee W. Morgan

Lee W. Morgan, 77, passed away at Froedtert Memorial Hospital, on Monday December 1, 2008. He was born in Racine on November 13, 1931, the son of Wilbur and Alice (Nee: Sweetman) Morgan.

Lee was united in marriage to Joan Jacobsen in Racine on May 9, 1953. He was a graduate of Park High School, Class of 1949, and went on to serve in the U. S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict. Lee was a very active member of Grace Church, involved in many committees and ministries. He was active as a Sunday School Teacher, Bus Ministry, Small Group Leader for 28 years and also served as on Elder. He was employed at S.C. Johnson as a research scientist, retiring after more than 38 years of service. Lee found great enjoyment in fishing, golf and it was not uncommon to find him lost in any good book he could find.

Lee is survived by his wife of 55 years, Joan; and his two sons, Scott (Tisha) Morgan of Hixson, Tenn., and Mark (Sandra) Morgan of Calhoun, GA.; five grandchildren, Sarah (fiancé, Justin), Katie, Thomas, Ivan and Rebecca Morgan. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and many dear friends.

Lee was preceded in death by his parents and one son, Daniel, in 1993.

A celebration of Lee’s life and remembrance will be held at Grace Church, 3626 Highway 31, on Thursday December 4, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. with Rev. Jerry Worsham and Rev. Daniel Petersen officiating. Private burial will be held at West Lawn Memorial Park following services. There will be a visitation at Grace Church on Thursday from noon until service time. In lieu of flowers, memorials to Jesus Film Project or Grace Church have been suggested by the family.

The Morgan family would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to Dr. Robert Gullberg and Dr. James Tierney for the fine care they provided over the years.
