Joseph A. “Tony” Morgan ’63

After proudly serving his country in the United States Army, he embarked on a career in business as a co-owner of Boston Cedar, where he preferred to be recognized as “Tony the Salesman”. His dedication to his work was evident in his desire to be known for his role in sales rather than as a co-owner. Tony’s professional accolade includes a degree from St. Michael College in Winooski, VT. However, it was his genuine engagement in conversations and his unique ability to make everyone feel important and understood that truly set him apart. In the words of Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” This quote encapsulates the essence of Joseph’s life philosophy, as he valued his relationships and interactions more than any material possession.

An ardent supporter of all Boston sports teams, particularly the Celtics, Tony’s love for Massachusetts was only rivaled by his deep affection for his town, Revere. This love called him back to Massachusetts even after a brief relocation to Florida. Tony was not only a loyal fan of sports but also a seasoned player, having grown up playing basketball.

A devoted father of Bill Morgan and his wife Kay (who was often told by Tony that she was the daughter he never had) of Revere, and Chris Morgan of Allston. Cherished Grampy to Liam and Alaia. Dear brother of Denise Carney and her late husband Wayne Carney Sr of Malden, and Michael Morgan and his late wife Claire of Revere. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Joseph’s life was a testament to the beauty of genuine connections and the strength of human spirit. He was a beacon of loyalty and thoughtfulness, whose memory will continue to inspire his loved ones.
