So sorry, I will remember all the good times.
To the Don Morgan Family. So very sorry for the loss of Don. I had not seen Don in several years, but I always enjoyed visiting the Morgan Bros. Dairy Farm.
I was the Fieldman for Biltmore Dairy where the Morgans sold their milk. It was a very good dairy operation, and I learned things about milking cows from Don and his brothers
Don was a very hard working man, so may he rest in peace.
Neil, Ava & Family
