Reverend William “Bill” Morgan, the second-oldest living man in Australia, celebrated his 110th birthday on 23 October in Melbourne.
Bill Morgan was born in Melbourne, on 23 October 1915. He grew up in a working-class family with five boys and one girl, and his parents were Scottish.
Bill was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in Malvern on 24 April 1944, and went on to serve as Minister in congregations across South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania. With the union of the Congregational, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches in 1977, Bill became a member of the newly formed Uniting Church. He retired from active ministry in 1984 but continued to serve in a pastoral role for the next two decades, offering guidance and care to his community.
Bill outlived two wives: Joan Winifred Howie, the mother of his three children, who passed away in 1957, and Jessie, whom he met and married later in life, who passed away in 2011.
At the moment, he is the second-oldest living man in Australia, after Ken Weeks.
LongeviQuest extends warm congratulations to Bill Morgan on his 110th birthday.
