Jack Morris Obituary
Jack was a professor at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry for 36 years, and still was working full-time when he recently became ill. The faculty, students and patients there were his second family and the outpouring of thoughts, prayers and love in recent weeks was humbling.
He was born October 9, 1934 in Buckhorn, KY to Clifton and Gladys (Lickert) Morris. Along with his parents, Jack was preceded in death by his wife, the former Carolyn Buehler; his brother, Joe; and, his sister, Betty.
Those left to cherish his memory include his four beautiful daughters, Ruth Morris (Tim Culver), Anne Petroskey, Judy Hammond (Lisa Walden), and Lynn Ball (Eric). He also leaves behind nine grandchildren and two step-grandchildren.
Friends and family may pay their respects on Tuesday, July 21 from 3-7 pm with a memorial service immediately following at 7 pm at Arch L. Heady & Son at Westport Village, 7410 Westport Rd.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the "Dr. Jack Morris Memorial Scholarship Fund" at the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, 501 S. Preston Street, Louisville, KY 40202.
Please visit www.archlheadywestport.com to leave a condolence for the family.

Dr. Morris was a wonderful man, a superb teacher, and an incredible human being if you ever spoke to him one on one. I learned much from Dr. Morris, most of all how to love life and love dentistry. He is truly missed and will always be remembered

Please accept my deepest sympathy to the Innerst family. I was a student of his just graduated this year. He was a great teacher and had incredible knowledge about dentistry. like they said: a teacher can never tell where his influence stops. Thank you Dr. Morris and we will miss you.

What a life well-lived! To generations of dental students he was strict, smiling, demanding and caring. He always tried to get the best out of students - and mainly succeeded. Carolyn could always make him laugh and I'm sorry to know they are both gone. My condolences.

Girls,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father's death. Although it's been years since I last saw him, I've thought about him many times. He was always a great host to a group of people from St. Gabriel. He made the best "twice baked potatoes" that I ever ate. He was a good-hearted man who spent countless hours caring for your mother. I will have a Mass said for him at Guardian Angels Church and I will remember all of you in my prayers.
