MORRELL - Richard (Dick) Joseph Morrell of Fort Qu'Appelle, SK passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 20, 2005 at the age of 87 years. He is survived by his loving wife, Sonia. They were married on October 17, 1942 in London, England. He was the loving father of Richard (Nancy), Susan (Neil Munro) and Debbie (Ben Robb). He was the grandfather of Rick, Lisa (Ken Yeadon), Colin (Delaine) Morrell, Tina (Joe), Pam (Gary), Cherie (Josh), Chad (Mandy) Ritsco and Jennifer and Jessica Robb; great-grandfather to Solstice, Andrew and Liam. Dick was very proud of his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren cherishing any time spent with them. He is also survived by his brother, Harold (Edna), Bill (Doris); sisters, Mary and Helen and brother-in-law, Martin Buckley and family in Romford, England as well as several nieces and nephews in Canada and England. Dick is predeceased by his parents Harry and Elizabeth and sister, Laura. Dick will be sadly missed by his dog, Pepper, his constant companion for the last 3 years. Dick served his country overseas from 1941 1945 in the RCOC. He saw service in Britain, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany, returning to Canada in August of 1945. He spent 55 happy years farming in the Qu'Appelle district, the last 30 years with his son, Richard were his most enjoyable times. He was grateful for the many kindnesses shown him over the years by family friend, Donna Mae. We would also like to acknowledge all the staff at Harrison House who gave Dick such compassionate care in his last weeks. There will be no service at Dick's request. There will be a family celebration of his life in the spring of 2006 at the farm he loved so much.
