To the family:

May God's Peace and Comfort be with you now and in the days to come.
Mr. Morgan was my supervisor at Lone Star Gas when I went to work for them in 1966; very good person to work for.

He was one of the friendliest men I knew. J.T. was a church greeter before it became fashionable. It was a pleasure to attend First Baptist Church, Bridgeport with J.T. and his wife.
Around 1987, J.T. had an unusual dream. He dreamed that Johnie & Wilson Ray's HOME, at 1206 Stevens, would become a CLINIC. His dream became a reality, several months later.
