MORTON -- WILLIAM RANDALL COL. RET. Colonel United States Air Force Retired, age 95, died peacefully in his sleep at home of natural causes on September 13, 2011.

Dad's numerous decorations include the Legion of Merit, Air Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and the Korean Service Medal. Dad came honestly by his military spirit through a long family tradition of military service, on his father's side, including four generations of soldiers dating to the American Revolution. His grandfather, Major Howard Morton, a decorated Civil War veteran with the 5th Pennsylvania Artillery, was the great grandson of George Morton, the financial agent of the Pilgrims in London, whose son, Nathanial, sailed to America in the "Ann" two years after the "Mayflower", and kept the records of the colony for over forty years. Dad was a dedicated patriot who loved his country and defended her honor for more than three decades. After retiring from the Air Force in 1974, he was active in Saint Chad's Episcopal Church, as well as Camp Stony and Habitat for Humanity.

Morton; his son Robert M. Morton and wife, Yvonne C. Morton; his son John C. Morton and wife, Deborah V. Morton; his grandsons Geoffrey Robert Morton and William Caldwell Morton; his stepgranddaughters Michelle Barbera and Annie Barbera; and his stepchildren Judy Endsley, Jessica Whitfield, Peter Manson, Elizabeth Kestner, spouses and grandchildren.

He was blessed with a sound mind and shared his memories with his loved ones and friends to the day he died. A celebration of Dad's life will be held following funeral services at Saint Chad's Episcopal Church (7171 Tennyson Street NE, Albuquerque, NM 87122) Tuesday, September 20, 2011 from 10:00-11:00a.m., with a remembrance gathering after the service, followed by burial with full military honors at 2:15p.m. at the United States National Cemetery, Santa Fe.
