Max Morris Obituary

Max H. Morris, 86, went to be with the Lord on November 14, 2012. Max served with the U.S. Navy during World War II and the Korean War. He retired from Brinks after 25 years of service. Max enjoyed his hobby of flying homing pigeons.

Preceded in death by sons, Joel and Eddy, survivors include his beloved wife of 46 years, Betty; daughters, Pam, Jodi, and Suzie; son, Max; and many grandchildren.

Special thanks to Marie and Joe Carron and the staff at Essex Nursing Home for their love and support during Max's illness.

Per his request, cremation will take place and there will be no calling hours. A graveside service with military honors will be held Monday at 1 p.m., at St. Michael's Cemetery in Suffield. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hospice of Summa. (NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, 330-784-3334)

Jodie, Pam, Susan and Family,
So much sorrow and so much sadness in too short of time. I really don't have many words of comfot to add. I can only tell you that I will think of you in my prayers and often. Memories become so very important that it is hard to catch up with them, but we do. Then they become the most precious. My deepest sympathies to all in the "Morris Family".

I fondly remember the bonfires and picnics of so many years ago. Loved coming to your house "out in the country". Your Mom and Dad were always so great to all of us.

Pam, Jodie, Suzie, Max and Morris family, You have my most heartfelt thoughts and prayers. He was such a handsome man and always kind to me.Your family has lost so many loved ones, too close to comprehend, that I can't imagine your despair and pain. Words are just that, words, with no meaning or solution and aid, at a time like this. I can feel your pain and I know this sense of lonliness "feeling" only too well. God Bless you all and hold tight to those memories, they are treasures.
With love, Vicky & Jim (Oswald-Siebert)
