Rest in peace Chris, sympathy to Trish, Chris, P.j. Denise, Maureen and the extended family. In our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for your loss. Buster was a sweetheart…..💜
Our deepest condolences to all the North Haven Morgans. We have great memories of Buster and Mary from all of their visits back to Ireland.
They were also phenomenal hosts when we visited them in Connecticut. They were so generous and kind to us all.
Christy was a gentle man, loved his GAA and his family to the bone.
Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

Condolences to all the Morgan families rip
So sorry for your loss we are here if you need us ❤️
Sincere condolences to Trish, Chris Jr, PJ, Denise, Maureen and family.
So many fond memories of Uncle Christie and Mary bringing you all home to Ireland for visits. Feels like only yesterday. To me, Uncle Christie was like an American movie star. (And when I naively asked if he knew the stars from Charlie’s Angels – he said he did – and that just made one little Irish girl’s day!)
Truth is Chris was a true star in every way. He had the kindest, softest heart. A proud Irish father, who worked so hard to make sure his family got back to Ireland often to stay connected with us all. So glad to have known and loved him. He will be sorely missed.
Ar dheis lámh Dé go raibh a anam dílis. 🕯️
God rest your soul, Buster. It was my pleasure to know you.
( Irish Blessing)…May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields, And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Thinking of the Morgan family at this sad time & sending our condolences to Trish, Chris Jr, PJ, Denise, Maureen & family.
We all have such fond memories of Christie & Mary over the years. Firstly at home in Ennistymon, working & playing as kids back in the day, I often recall those days & the antics we all got up too!!
Then while they were living in the UK & we enjoyed visiting you all in Connecticut when our families were young, spending time with you & making lovely memories was a very special time for us.
RIP my brother, love always Joe, Nell, Monica, Eileen & Joe Morgan

Thinking of you all this morning as you prepare to take Uncle Christy on his final journey. No doubt Mary is waiting with open arms with a little sup of diesel to welcome him into
her arms in heavenly paradise.
Rest in Peace in the bed of heaven 🙏☘️🇮🇪
Marie and all the Morgans in Lavareen
My heartfelt condolences to Trish, Christopher, PJ, Denise, Maureen and family. Rest in Peace dearest Buster alongside your beloved Mary. Remembered with love in our hearts always.

My sincere condolences to Trish, Chris Jr, PJ, Denise, Maureen and family on hearing of Chris’ passing. Chris and Mary will always be remembered as wonderful, special people. Your parents were always so kind to my parents and our whole family since Pine Rock/Pearl Ave days. Both your parents will be sorely missed by so many people whom they touched with their open arms, warmth and laughter.
With deepest condolences to the family and friends of Chris as the memories come to me of laughter, fun, and cheering our lads on as they played Irish football, and perhaps sharing a Sea Breeze or two on the bus rides to those games.
May he rest peacefully, and may you find comfort as you recall the many joys he brought to you and others.
In friendship and with peace,
Susan McGowan
