To Aunt Maxine and family members, I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Uncle Morris. We were very fortunate to have had a visit with him, thanks Dale, when we were in Port Mouton for Bev’s service this August. The visit included a tour of his workshop, of course, and lots of picture taking and joking around; all good memories for which I am very thankful.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, Love Betty

Condolence from Jean Hill on October 8th, 2011 5:28 pm

Maxine and family members, we are missing Uncle Morris and thinking about all the visits that he generously shared over the years. Fisherman,outdoorsman,craftsman,patient teacher, curious,sense of humor,are only a few words that describe this important man and community member. Thank you Morris for fixing my sandal when I was14.Your skill turned it into a work of art with the shining copper tacks. Missing you and remembering you well.

Condolence from Howard & Charlotte Callahan on October 10th, 2011 3:29 pm

Uncle Morris will be missed on the wharf where he was a constant presence with other retired fishermen, He will be missed by friends and relatives from far and wide, who would visit him when his basement door was open or when he was outside splitting wood. Whether he used wood to carve birds or needed to make a tool or modify a chair, his talents reflected his ingenuity and love of nature so clearly evident in his carvings. He was the last of four brothers, who although different, belonged to a generation of special human beings that drew me and eventually my wife back again and again to this beautiful and vibrant fishing village – a place we both love.
We miss you Uncle Morris.

Condolence from Mitchell& Wendy ( you know who we are) on October 13th, 2011 10:54 am

Dear Morris,
I don’t know how Mitchell will ever get by without YOU!!! He loved you like you were his second Daddy. You built the house we live in, you were always there for any questions that Mitchell had about wood working….AND even though Mitchell said ” he won’t eat after you ( I thought ” hey- if he throws it out – it doesn’t matter) I’m sending it up!)! I really have no words to express the THANKS that I have for you : ) Teddy & you were one in the same…always looking out for that boy (Mitchell) thank you, I may not have felt comfortable saying it while you were alive but ♥Love♥ is being sent your way
Wendy

Condolence from Mabel Dodsworth on October 20th, 2011 6:54 pm

Dear Uncle Morris,
We, all your nephews and nieces will miss you so much. For all the teasing and joking around you did when we were small on up to our adulthood. My doll was never the same after you and Uncle Teddy were finished with it,
Thank you for being my Uncle and say HI to Mom up there.
Love
Mabel
