Morgan, Carroll Joseph
With broken hearts we announce the sudden passing of Carroll Morgan, age 70, at his home in Halifax on June 20, 2018. Carroll was a son of the late John and Vida Morgan. Carroll was a loving and supportive husband. He and Marlene were best friends. They did everything together, always hand in hand. Carroll would say that his sons were his biggest accomplishment, and the one he was the most proud of. His “boys” were his pride and joy. Marlene, Joseph and Bradley were his heart.
Carroll was a member of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, and taught for twenty years. He was also a member of the Halifax Longshoremen’s Assn. Local 269, working at Halterm and Ceres for 18 years. Carroll was an accomplished athlete, boxing for twenty years at a world class level. He was a member of the 1972 Canadian Olympic team. Carroll was enshrined into the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990 and into the Nova Scotia Heritage Sports Hall of a Fame twice. First in 1994 as a member of the 1966 X-men football team and again in 2008 as a boxer. In 2018 Carroll was enshrined into the Cape Breton Sports Heritage Hall of Fame for boxing. Carroll is survived by his wife, Marlene, the love of his life for the past 34 years, sons, Joseph (Morgan Conrad) and Bradley; brothers, John James (Shirley), Terry (Colleen), Austin (Eileen), Lester and Brian (Leanne); brothers in law, David Bowen (Debbie) and Dennis Felix; sisters in law, Kathryn Lewis (Roger), Gail Coolen (Raymond), and Nancy Bowen; grandson, Nolan Conrad; godson, Keith Morgan; aunt, Kay Proctor; several nieces and nephews; and many life long friends.
