Richard J. Morgan, who served as Con Edison’s vice president of Emergency Management until his retirement in 2000, perished in the attack on the World Trade Center. In a Con Edison career that spanned four decades, Dick Morgan developed close working relationships with New York City’s Fire Department, Police Department, Office of Emergency Management, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, particularly in times of crisis. Those at Con Edison and throughout the city and the industry who knew Dick Morgan mourn his passing and celebrate his memory.
