    Maurice and my father served together in WWII. While quiet about those times, they shared a special bond.

    Maurice ofterned appeared crusty on the outside, but those who knew him knew he was a softy in the inside, always generous and helpful. We will miss him, but hopefully take some of what he was with us always.

    Rest in Peace Maurice.

    I first met Maurice back in the early 1990s when researching the Whynot family. He had a great memory of “days gone by” and I enjoyed talking with him. He will be missed by his family and many friends. My sincere condolences to his family.

    Was a neighbour of Maurice for many years and often played in the pond and hills behind his house. He always kept his property immaculate and let us kids know when we weren’t respectful. Looked after his mom for many years and was obviously a dutiful son.

    I still remember him coming across the street to help me and my dad when we were rebuilding the family home.

    RIP

    I read in paper this morning, about Frank and Muriel’s death of her brother.
    Frank Morash was my husband’s Uncle.He spoke of him often.
    It has been 2 years and 11 months, since I lost Grant. It is very tough for me. I am O.K.
    I have learned, to take each day at a time, put one foot in front of the other and “shove”.
    Please accept my sincere sympathy on the lost of Muriel’s brother.

    I met Maurice at the mill. He was my supervisor for almost 2 years when I worked with the riggers in the mechanical. Maurice always took time to stop & talk . He knew & was a friend to many. Maurice will be missed. May God give comfort to the family during their time of loss.

    I am truly sorry at the passing of Maurice. I used to live across from his house. He was a fine man, never heard him say a bad thing about anyone. My father had the store across the road from him. I used to go over to his house, whenever his mother would bake bread and cut the heals off every loaf and put home made butter and molasses on the crust………….good stuff…he will be greatly missed by all…………….R.I.P. friend
