Francis Morrissey

Francis was a classy guy thru & thru & was a lot of fun to be around. We were good friends at DePauw & I got to see him on a family vaca years ago when we stopped by the pool where he life guarded.

Francis & I went to DePauw University & lived on the same floor of a dorm. He was such a character. There was a fly in his room s & he couldn´t get rid of it so he put some sugar on the top of his tongue & sat quietly hoping the fly would go for the sugar. That strategy didn´t work out but it sure was fun to see him in fly catching mode!

Francis was a great guy. His sense of humor made him a lot of fun in the dorm at DePauw University. He was a studious guy as well, worked hard, played hard too. One of my best memories of Francis was when I was on a family vacation and found ourselves in Bennington. Somehow or another we found the pool where he was a lifeguard and there he was!

I went to college with Francis @ DePauw University. What a character he was, great basketball player too and had a quirky sense of humor. One of his antics was in his dorm room when he decided to see if he could catch a fly in his room. So, he put some sugar on the end of his tongue and stuck it out. For better or worse he didn't catch the fly but sure got a lot of laughs which likely scared the bejesus out of that fly!

Francis was such a creative & fun guy in college! He once tried to catch a fly in his dorm room by putting a little sugar on the tip of his tongue & waited patiently for the fly to land. The fly won that day... We also spent a winter term together in Washington, DC that was fun.

We are so saddened to hear of your loss. Many thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
