William Morris Obituary

William "Bill" Morris Found his long needed rest after a battle with cancer on Sat., February 2, 2008, just a month shy of his 69th birthday. More than just a loving father and devoted husband, he was a seeker of truth, which led him to travel the world over both alone and with his wife Elisa, who remained in love through 31 years of marriage. He is survived by Elisa and their three children, Jason, Shaun, and Amber. Originally from Missouri, he eventually settled into Hayward, CA, and worked for the SF MUNI for 28 years. We celebrate his life and wish him the best in this last part of his journey. We miss him so much and love him but know we will be reunited one day.
