In Memory Of........
| This page is dedicated to those I have known and loved. I will see you in heaven. |
| This is my Father Tillman Hobson Morgan Jr. He was born August 28, 1923 and died on June 10, 2006. He served in two wars and retired in 1964. He could be very funny, was great at cards, and believe it or not, could dance! The Picture on the Left is of him in the military in the 50's. The picture to the right was taken when he was 17 years old. He married my mother even though she was pregnant with another mans baby (me). He named me and raised me as his own. I will never forget this. This man was a hero in more ways than one. Now he looks down upon us waiting for us to join him....... |
This is my friend Patty Young. She was born July 6, 1958 and died July 14,
2006 of Cancer. I met Patty and her daughter when I bought a home across from hers
in 1998. We became friends. She had a beautiful smile, a great laugh, and a kind heart.
She was a loner and could be stand-offish, but when she let you in, there was no end to
what she would do for you. I will forever miss our Sunday morning coffee together, Our
long talks, our barbacues, and most of all, I will miss my best friend. I will see you
again........

Bucky Craven. Died September 18, 2006 of trauma to his brain due to a bad car accident. One of my favorite dance
people. I met Bucky in Tampa, Florida at the American Cowboy Co. in 1995 where I was the dance instructor. From the
moment I met him and his lovely wife Carol, they were my friends! I liked Bucky because he was like me, wild and crazy
and did not care what people thought about how he danced. I have done alot of laughing with Bucky and Carol. And
through thick and thin, they have been my friends. Bucky touched alot of people with his dancing like a nut! He made us
smile and laugh. I personally believe that he is getting things ready for us when we die, because he is making sure that
God is setting up a dance floor so that we will be dancing when we go to heaven. A sad loss for all of the dancers. I will
miss him terribly. But..........see you on the flip side!

travels to the Lord and as he watches over Teresa. You will be forever loved. We will meet again my friend........

Joseph Christian Hartranft, 52, of 1504 Scotch Pine Drive in Brandon, and Lt. Col. Yessic Cozay
Spencer, 42, a Marine from Gainesville based at MacDill Air Force Base, were found in School Sink, a
cave-diving spot on Stevens Drive near Old Dixie Highway.
The divers had been reported missing since Tuesday from Hillsborough County. The vehicle of one of
the men was found Wednesday night near the entrance to School Sink.
The Pasco County Sheriff's office contracted divers, who found the bodies about 6:30 p.m., about 30
minutes after their search began.
Staff Sgt. Joseph Loewy said Spencer was an activated reservist who was working at U.S. Central
Command at MacDill.
Spencer, who is survived by his wife and parents, was involved in the community and attended the
Marine Corps' birthday party two days prior to his death, Loewy said. Spencer was on a committee that
set up that event in Tampa.
Spencer also did what he could to help with fundraisers for charities, such as a foundation for veterans,
Loewy said.
His friend, retired Air Force Master Sgt. Nancy Morgan, said Spencer was well-liked and respected in
the military. "He is the greatest person I ever met," Morgan said. "Honestly, he loved his family, he was
dedicated to his country. He works hard. I was in Iraq with him in 2003, and he took good care of me."
One body was found near the entrance of School Sink, less than 50 feet from the surface. The other
diver was found in a side tunnel, sheriff's office spokesman Kevin Doll said. The area where the men
were found is privately owned, Doll said. Other than issuing trespass violations, there's really nothing
law enforcement can do to prevent people from diving at the site, Doll said today. It's not clear what
kind of experience the two divers had prior to the dive. They appeared to have the right equipment,
Doll said. "It comes down to personal responsibility. If you're not certified to skydive, you don't jump out
of a plane," Doll said. "Cave diving is one of the most dangerous sports in the world."
Spencer's wife, Sherolyn Spencer, declined to comment today.

Yessic, my friend, I will miss you
greatly. You took care of me
while I was in Iraq. Helping and
teaching me how to use my
weapon with great precision. You
were my confidant when I needed
one. But most of all I was proud
to call you friend. I will miss our
email's with the jokes that
someone else had sent you. I
know that all the people that have
come in contact with you, feel
blessed that they had the
privilege of getting to know one of
God's angels. Anybody who has
met you will never forget you,
your smile, your kindness and
what you have done for each of
us. The Marines have lost a
great man. My prayers will go out
to your wife and kids that they
may get through this tragedy. Go
well with God. Old family and
friends wait for you to guide you
to your final place. God Bless
and I will see you in heaven.
