MORGAN
It is with great sadness that the family of FREDERICK (FRED) WALTER MORGAN announces his passing, surrounded by family on Saturday, November 8, 2008. Fred was born on March 30, 1915 to Albert and Annie (Wickens) Morgan in Edmonton (Strathcona), Alberta. Evelyn (Lawes) and Fred were married in 1943. Fred joined the army in 1941, and was later transferred to the air force where he served in England during World War II. Upon his return from war service, he was honourably discharged and provided with training in the field of watch repair. His career moved the family from Edmonton to Wainwright, Alberta in 1958, and to Moose Jaw in 1960. Watch repair remained his career until 1989 when he retired from his shop at the Moose Jaw Co-op. Fred enjoyed traveling the world with his wife, lawn and alley bowling, camping and playing cards, especially crib. He will be missed for his generosity, sense of humor, love of food and cooking, and his stories about the good old days. Predeceased by his wife, Evelyn, his parents and two sisters and their husbands: Doris (Ed) Lawton and Esther (John) Sandercock, Fred will be sadly missed by his daughters: Joan (Russ) Bell – Moose Jaw, Edith (David) Owen – Regina, son, James – Regina; grandchildren: Cathy Bell (Blair Vautour), Chris Bell (Nikki Martin), Stephen (Nicole) Owen, Kyle Owen, Terri Morgan (Colby Nargang), Joe Morgan, great-grandsons: Jake and Jaya, brother, Bob (Pat) Morgan and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
