He was preceded in death by his parents, Otto Clay Morgan, Sr. and Katie Eugenia Morgan; brothers, Otto Clay Morga, Jr., Phillip Devereux, Nicholas Devereux, Edgar Devereux and sisters, Vergie Melton, Ester Lou Lett, and Margaret Rathell. Mr. Morgan was born in Forrest City, Arkansas on December 14, 1933. He was the owner of Wynne Auto Electric, Inc. and a member of Wynne Baptist Church, past member and president of Forrest City Kiwanis Club, and former Scout Master of Troop 202 in Forrest City, Arkansas. He was active in the scouting program for many years, stating he supported scouting because, “I feel young people need more help today than ever before. Scouting, outside the church and home, is one of the greatest youth programs in existence today.” While President of the Forrest City Kiwanis Club, he helped organize the Wynne Kiwanis Club in 1971. He was selected for Personalities of the South in 1972 to recognize his outstanding contribution to the community. Above all the accomplishments in his life, the most important were God, Church, and family. Through his illness his utmost concern was that God be glorified. Survivors are his wife: Pauline Hall Morgan of Wynne; sons, Thomas William “Bill” Morgan, Jr. and wife Lisa of Wynne; daughters, Debra Ann Callahan of Colt; Judy Lynn Moore and husband Kenny of Wynne; sister, Ila Henderson; grandchildren, Leigh Anne Stough of Widener; Kenneth Ray Moore, II of Wynne; Courtney Marie Morgan Dildine of Wynne; Jessica Erin Callahan DeBlasio of Suisun City, CA; Thomas William Morgan, III of Wynne; and William Carroll Moore of Wynne; great grandchild, Shelby RaeLynn Moore of Wynne.
