He was born January 17, 1942 in Columbus to Erlo A. and Marie (Schoff) Morgan. He graduated from Adams/Friendship High School in 1960. In June of 1964 he joined the Wisconsin National Guard 32nd Division, Portage Unit. He was in boot camp in Fort Knox, Kentucky from June until November. He worked for the Chicago/ North Western/Union Pacific Railroad from 1961- 2000. His career ended as a Manager of Train Operations.
Eddie married Joan Kloss on December 5, 1964. Together they raised two children, Jane of Menomonee Falls, Mike (Tammy) Oxford, Grandchildren Hunter, Kiley, Oxford, many extended family members, and dear friends. He loved his family unconditionally to the very end. He was a dedicated, kind, gentle, thoughtful man. In retirement, Eddie and Joan enjoyed fishing, camping, gardening and spending time with family and friends. He also enjoyed hunting. He was a good provider for his family. Eddie was lucky to have such a thoughtful, hard working Granddaughter who made it a point to see that her grandpa was okay or needed help with anything. Thank you to my daughter-in-law Tammy, and Cousin Barbara Morgan who made sure I made it to all my medical appointments.
He is survived by his wife Joan of almost 52 years, Daughter Jane Morgan Gennerman, Son Michael (Tammy), Grandson Hunter, Granddaughter Kiley Morgan (friend Jay Turner), Sister Melody Driscoll, Sister in laws Dorothy Morgan, & Bobbi Kloss, Also his faithful dog Lady.

To the Morgan Family,
Thank you for sharing Eddie with me for just a few short years, he was like an older brother that I never had. Eddie was always full of sage advice and nothing ever seemed to bother him…what a pleasant person to be around. If I ever had a problem, he was always right there to make sure that everything went right. We will all miss the “big guy” what a terrific person.
Joan, sending our condolences to you and your family. So sorry to hear about Eddie.

Joan + Family,
Saddened to hear this news. Always enjoyed Ed’s visit to Winona, some of those times you would accompany him which also meant that it was not a company issue. (we weren’t in trouble, derailment, etc.) To jog your memory I am the taller one (retired) that could be a poster boy for convict monthly!. 🙂
There are no words for things like this, all I have for you is hopefully some humor and of course well wishes to you + your’s.
Please know this, in forty two years of playing train I can count on one hand the number of manager’s that I liked and trusted, men who had my/our backs and vice versa.
Ed was at the top of that list!, promoted from the ranks he truly understood what it took to operate his territory and manage
his people. For that it was my honor and privilege to work for and with Ed!.
All Good,
Don Snider
It was a pleasure to know him, you and your family, and I will miss his wonderful smile. I’ll always remember the camping we did and the relaxed and fun times, but especially that wonderful stew that was the highlight of our camping days. God Bless you and keep you in His care.
Joan So sorry to read about Eddie’s passing, will always remember the old and good days at the campground. May God be with you at this time.
A good and gracious man has passed through our lives. Please know Joan that your man Ed was respected by all in his circle of life on the railroad. He who has common sense as “Ed” did cannot be off center in his relations with others. Beverly and I send our condolances to you and the children. Blessings
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Ed. Ed is one of the good guy’s and it was truly a pleasure and honor to know him. To the family I hope that you know he was well liked and respected and may he rest in peace.
Joan and family……Sorry to hear of Eddie’s passing. He was loved and will be missed by all who knew him. Sorry we were unable to
visit you both at the breakfast at Friendship Cafe, it completely slipped our minds. Mary Lee (Robinson) and Gordie Klaus. Class of 1960 and 1959.
Sincere condolences from a friend from many years ago….

We are so grateful that we got to see both of you in Grand Marsh recently. He will be missed by so many. You and your family will be in our prayers.
Joanie & Family,
So sorry to hear the news of Eddie’s passing. So grateful that we were able to get together for breakfast with other members of the A-F Class of 1960 when we did. Blessings and may peace be with all of you.
We were privileged to have a small share in Eddie’s life and remember him as a good and gracious man. We know his family will have many precious memories to cherish and now pray for them the comfort of a gracious God. May Eddie rest in God’s merciful care and may light perpetual shine upon him.
