Dr. Frank H. Morgan, 84, passed away peacefully at The Laurels of Charlottesville in Virginia on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2015. He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Mary Patteson Morgan.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Dr. Morgan was the son of J. Frank Morgan and Ruth Tate Morgan. He was the nephew of Jack B. Tate, a former Dean of International Law at Yale University.

Dr. Morgan served our country as a Marine from 1951-1954. He was a graduate of the University Of Tennessee School Of Dentistry in Memphis, Tennessee. Following residency training at the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in New York, he remained with the VA for several years.

In 1980, he created TiMesh, Inc., a medical hardware company. Utilizing titanium bone plates and titanium bone screws, this business was dedicated to correcting cranio-facial defects in adults and children. Throughout its existence, TiMesh acquired 15 patents. Although the company sold in 1995, its accomplishments remained a source of great price for Dr. Morgan.
