Condolence From: David Eugene Barrett
Condolence: I was fortunate to have had Dr Morgenson as a prof for intro psych and later clinical psych which led me to a rewarding 34 year career in the Criminal Justice System classifying and recommending treatment programs for clients with addiction issues. I spent another four years after retirement teaching court recommended anger management programs. I consider Donald one of the most influential profs of my academic career. I visited him on several occasions after graduating from Guelph University. I wish I had had the opportunity to visit him more often.

Condolence: To me Donald Morgenson was Professor Morgenson, a charismatic, inspirational, world class educator. It's been 13 years since I graduated from WLU and I still think fondly of the classes I had with Mr. Morgenson. You could feel his love, passion and curiosity emanating from his lectures. I googled him today as I'm planning to pursue my masters in Psychology and I was curious to know what he was up to in retirement. Saddened to know he is no longer with us in body but he surely lives on in the hearts and minds of so many people who were blessed to cross paths with him.

My sincere condolences to his family. Thank you for sharing him with so many of us.

Condolence: I will NEVER forget this man. I took many of his classes during my time at Laurier. Iā€™m so thankful I decided to study Psychology. His lectures were informative, warm, full of wit and laughter, and always flew by. I loved to hear him speak. He will forever be missed and never forgotten šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ˜‡

Condolence: I just found out about Dr morgenson's death. He was a true teacher in every way. He taught me more about myself and my gifts to share with the world then anyone in my life. His wise yet gentle counsel is something I still think about in times of tough decisions and moral chaos I see in the world. I am so grateful that our lives touched.

Condolence: I know I'm very late with this but I was at Laurier University in my first year, 1979. I still speak of Dr. Morgenson with great admiration because he impressed me as the kindest, most gentle and intriguing professor I've ever had. I'm now 57 years old and he left an impression on me that still makes me consider life differently. I recall he spoke very kindly of his daughter who lived in NYC, who bought him a pink tie that year. I know for sure, he will be missed by many just like me. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: I just learned of this loss today and I wanted to send my kindest wished to the Morgenson family. Dr. Morgenson was one of my first profs at Laurier and he remains one of my favorite teachers to this day. He was gifted with not only a powerful intellect, but also a remarkably kind heart. The world is less without him in it.

Condolence: Dr Morgenson was involved in the beginning of the WLU music therapy program, teaching a psychology of music course if I remember correctly, and that's where I met him. He was a professor who made me feel heard and seen as a thinking, wondering, and valuable person.....what a gift. From the tributes I've seen, he touched the lives of many others in similar profound ways. Please accept my condolences.

Condolence: I was saddened yesterday to hear of Dr. Morgenson's passing from a friend. I was privileged to have had the opportunity to take two senior Psych courses from Dr. Morgenson on my pathway to B.A. graduation from WLU with a Psych major in 1970. Luck gave me Dr. Morgenson for the first course but, for the second course, I drove a round trip of 330 miles on Saturdays because he was the professor.
There were many great professors and instructors at WLU but no classes were as enjoyable or fulfilling as Dr. Morgenson's.
Dr. Morgenson always demonstrated a high standard of instruction and evaluation, combining a perfect blend of enthusiasm, humour, experiential anecdotes, academic excellence and compassionate understanding.
In 2010, upon learning that Dr. Morgenson was still active as a professor, I sent an email note of thanks for the many ways he had inspired me as a student. I received a gracious response from him in less than 24 hours.
Dr. Morgenson was a shining beacon for many thousands of fortunate students along the way and his spirit will live on through the positive influences he exemplified.
