Morris was born in Eston August 25, 1941 at the Eston Union Hospital. He attended all of his schooling in Eston. After Graduation, Morris worked in construction until moving to Rosetown to work for his uncle Cliff Morris at the Case Dealership and while employed there started his apprenticeship mechanics.
Morris met and married Marion Meacham from Lacadena in 1965. In 1967, he returned to Eston and took over the ESSO agency from his father when he became ill. He built the agency up to include fertilizer and farm chemicals. He worked hard every day to provide for his family until he sold the business in 2005. Morris was not one to sit still as you soon found him in the field driving the tractor, combine, grain truck and doing repairs to the equipment. In later years he became the official go-fer.
Morris enjoyed life to the fullest and was very involved in the community; he served 9 years on Town Council as well as numerous other boards. He was a Lions Member for 53 years, served as President twice and Lions Trip of the Month Chairperson for several years, a volunteer fireman for 20 years and a member of the Eston-Eatonia Masonic Lodge.
He loved his fishing and wouldn’t miss the annual fishing trip with his buddies. Many good times and stories came out of those trips. The skiing, camping and golfing trips with family and friends that Morris so loved to organize will be cherished for years to come. Growing up hockey became a big part of his life as he lived across the street from the rink, first Minor Hockey, then Eston Ramblers and lastly Old Timers Hockey with the Red Ribbons and in his spare time coached Michael in minor hockey.
He very seldom missed going to coffee row in the mornings and enjoyed his happy hour with friends and family.
Morris and Marion travelled to many different hot destinations with family and close friends; Hawaii, France, Fiji, Mexico, Barbados, South America, many of the Caribbean Islands and several cruises just to name a few.
A Celebration of Life was held July 25, 2022 at St. Andrew’s United Church in Eston, with Interment at the Eston Cemetery. Memorial donations in Moe’s name may be made to The Lung Association, 2308 Arlington Avenue, Saskatoon, SK S7J 3L3.
