Arlo was born in New Jersey on September 21, 1941, and lived in Orange most of his life before retiring to the lake with the love of his life Betty. He graduated from Little Cypress Mauriceville in 1960. Arlo worked as an electrician and was a member of the local IBEW. Arlo had a love for fishing and spending time outdoors. He loved his days at the lake with his family, drinking coffee on his back porch, dancing, and keeping everyone that knew him entertained with his unique sense of humor. Arlo’s biggest joy came from his grandchildren who called him “PeePaw”. He could always put a smile on their face. He leaves behind a legacy of love to all who knew him and will be deeply missed.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 45 years, Betty Ann Morgan; son, Keith Anthony; parents, John and Mildred (Myers) Morgan; and his brother, Virgil Morgan.
He is survived by his daughter, Sheryl Parker and husband James (Bubba); grandchildren, Heather Camp and husband Michael and Hannah Murphy and husband Kyle; as well as his great grandchildren, Kinley and Lucas Camp.
The family would like to send a special thank you to Mr. Morgan’s caregivers, Chris and Melody and to nurses, Nicole and Cassie at Affinity Hospice.
