Alfred Edward "Ed" Morrison

Ed Morrison, 72, of Randolph, Ohio passed away on June 12, 2022. Ed was born in Akron, Ohio to Alfred L Morrison and Mary (Morrison)(Wells) Witt. Ed had a personality that was larger than life and a heart of gold. As a child, he loved spending time hunting and fishing and catching himself many unique pets in the process. He and his younger brother Dick found themselves to be mischievous boys, often requiring their older sister Cheryl to come to the rescue. Ed graduated from Ellet High School in 1968, taking with him many fond memories and grand stories of his glory days and a group of friends that were like family. Most importantly, Ed would tell you he was luckiest to have snagged his long-legged beauty, Linda, who he loved with all his heart. Ed joined the apprenticeship program with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company as a pipe fitter and soon after he and Linda married and settled down in Firestone Park. He was a country boy at heart and somehow convinced Linda to buy land in Randolph and build their first home together. Linda agreed, but only if they could fill the home with children. Ed never thought he'd be that good of a dad, but boy was he ever wrong. Not only was he an amazing father to his own children, but also extended his love and support to many others. As Ed settled into country life, he took on even more hobbies such as gardening, bee keeping, apple trees and golf, which was a sport he swore he'd never play and later could not stop playing. As a family they loved camping trips to the beach and fishing trips to Canada. Ed never met a stranger who didn't turn into a friend and placed the utmost importance on being there for his friends and family, whom he loved wholeheartedly. In addition to his beloved wife Linda and children, Betsy (Chad) and Andy (Christie), Ed is survived by his grandchildren Connor, Emma, Ryan and Matthew, sister Cheryl (Jim), sister-in-law Ann (Jim), sister-in-law Jennifer and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in passing by his mother Mary, father Al, bonus fathers Ron Wells and Fred Witt, his brother Dick, mother-in-law Rosemary and Father-in-Law Roger. A celebration of life will be held at Adams-Mason Funeral Home (791 E Market St, Akron, OH 44305) on Monday, June 20th from 1pm - 4pm.
