He was born on August 30, 1928 in Glasgow, Kentucky to the late Mattie Raeburn Williams and William Henry Morgan, the 10th of 11 children. He graduated from Hiseville High School and began his career at the A&P Tea Company store located on the Glasgow town square before joining the Navy in 1950.

Upon his honorable discharge and return home from service, he moved to Louisville, and continued his work with A&P, rising to Store Manager.
