Mr. Morgan is also survived by what he called "his 4 special brothers", J.P. Weber, Frankie Cochrane, Billy Cochrane and Dale Cochrane.

Ed enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping at Bethpage, horseshoes, antique cars and remodeling homes to suit peoples' needs. No matter how big or small he made sure that everyone was happy. He always went out of his way to make sure no one who asked for help went without it. He had a big heart that never ran out of room to share the love he had. Ed always had this way about him and he made sure that if he was doing something it most definitely had to be done his way or no way. He has now joined his "special girl" Giggit. Ed had a tremendous family that he held close in his heart that will deeply miss him.

A service will be held on Thursday, August 12, 2010 at the Bowles Farm, 22880 Budds Creek Rd., Clements, MD at 11:00 a.m. Conducting the service will be Rev. Joseph Dobson.
