Dr. Alvin "Al" Morris

Uncle Al was my mother's brother and my uncle, obviously. I have many wonderful memories of him and Aunt Helen. I remember playing the player piano in the basement and what fun that was! I also enjoy antiques as both of them did and have merely a dent of a collection in comparison to what they had. They were always such a loving couple and they always had alot of respect for each other. We miss both of them terribly, and just want to say how proud we are of the accomplishments that they both...

Dr. Alvin "Al" Morris was my uncle.
He was my mother's brother. I miss him so much. He has always been someone that I looked up to because he got to where he was at because of a lot of hard work. He had a life that all of his family was proud of. In his honor I hope to return to college and finish and get my degree. Rest in peace Uncle Al. We will miss you.

Not only was I student in the Wichita school system when Dr. Morris was there but, I had the fortune of marrying his nephew who has since passed away. He was a wonderful human being.

To the family of Al Morris:

I noted with sorrow the passing of Al Morris. I had the good fortune to have been a student teacher under his supervision at KSTC in 1952. After a career of teaching mathematics for 37 years, I still marvel at how much I learned from him in one short semester. I have always been grateful to him for molding my teaching career. He was a great teacher and a fine gentleman. I, and his many students, mourn his passing. May he rest in peace.

As a former principal, I appreciated Dr. Morris strong, consistent leadership.

I was an elementary librarian and then a principal during Dr. Morris' tenure as Superintendent. He was a very fair man and knew what was going on in the entire district. One time something happened at my school that was minor but he knew what happened and the next time he saw me he said "I like the way you handled the situation." That statement was made to me in 1979 and I will remember it as long as I live. I have the greatest respect for Dr. Morris.

It was an honor serving under COL Morris. I thought he was one of the finest military officers that I had the privilege of being associated with.

It is with great sadness that I write this note, expressing my sympathy to the family and close friends of this great man.
Working at Larksfield Place, I saw a man that was always friendly, soft spoken to everyone that he met. He will be greatly missed.

With my condolences,Terry Jo Litchfield.
