It's been two years since my father died and I miss him so much. He was not only my father he was my best friend and mentor. I miss our talks, his advice, and the stores he would tell that would make me laugh. I had the privilege to work with him on the Phoenix Fire Department and his electrical and refrigeration company Western Services. I wouldn't have the career I have today without all the things he taught me growing up. But most importantly he taught me how to be a good man, father and friend. I'll always remember and cherish the time we spent together. I take solace in knowing that he isn't in pain any more and that he is reunited with our mother in heaven and watching over us.
I love and miss you and mom with all my heart!
Love, your son Larry

A Navy man, a fireman, a son, a father, a grandpa, a "grandpa grape" and my hero. I love you and miss you. I will always be grateful and proud to have you as my grandpa. A famous quote my grandpa always said; "Old enchiladas never die they always smell that way." You're one enchilada that will never die because you'll always remain alive in my heart. I love you grandpa.
Heres to you grandpa!
xoxo, Chad, Elissa and Sean

My family moved in next door to Ed in 1970, and for nearly 40 years we were blessed to have a true friend and wonderful neighbor. My deepest sympathy to the whole Morrell family on your loss.

To the Morrell Family,
Ed had the soul and presence of a great man and was an "old school" gentleman. He blessed our lives as we got to know him throughout the years. He will definately be missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with the entire family
