Services
Funeral arrangements.
PM's family has now confirmed that there is to be a private, family funeral on November 4th at Midday. The factory will be closed for this day, and the family thanks everyone for respecting their privacy at this time.
Charles and the family wish to express their warm and heartfelt thanks to all those who have sent condolences, either directly or via the web site, and they ask for understanding that the overwhelming response has made it impossible to reply personally.
A memorial service will be arranged in the near future as a more public celebration of PM's life and work.
The family requests no flowers, please, but donations will be appreciated either to Cradley Parish Church, or The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals. Donations can be sent c/o FW Spilsbury, Upper Howsell Road, Malvern WR14 1TL, England.

A Salute from Emog
The Moderators have received numerous inquiries and comments off-group
from Pub regulars, lurkers and even non-participants as to what gesture
would appropriately mark PM's passing. There is a need amongst us to
reflect, in some way, how his life touched ours. Of all the ideas and
suggestions put forth, one seems to stand out and capture the
imagination and heart more than others.
We are a community, scattered over 33 countries, joined by his joy and
our own in this little eclectic car. Any tribute should reflect this
bond of spirit and how widely it has spread. We would like to suggest a
unique salute to PM.
AT AN APPOINTED TIME, coinciding with the Memorial Service to be set by
the Factory, we shall each start all our thousands of Morgan engines
wherever they may be, and reflect for five minutes on the ties that bind
us to Peter Morgan and to honour him for that gift.
All of us here are fortunately placed to create this and make it reality
....if politics and turf are put aside and good will rules. Working
together with everyone who can participate or help, we can excite a
1,000,000 horsepower salute for PM around our small planet.
Doubtless his spirit will note the time to turn each ignition key or
press each starter button with a quietly delivered;
We have just been informed by the Works that the Memorial Service will be held on Saturday November 29th at the Malvern Priory.
This would seem to be the date most appropriate for the proposed
Salute.
Gentlemen and Ladies prepare to.... START YOUR ENGINES.... in a salute
to the Gentleman of Gentleman, Peter H. G. Morgan.
May the full song of Morgan pipes be heard round the world in unison.
"Gentlemen, start your engines."
