To the Morris family, I am so sorry for the loss of Johnny. I knew him through Dominic Mack, they were great friends and found many was to get into mischief together. He was a nice man and always so kind, I am sure he and Dominic are already playing cards! May he rest in peace.

Dear Morris Family. We are so sorry for your loss. Every time we would see him in church or at The Knights Of Lebanon Land he would greet us with a big smile and so much kindness. I love how he always said " I´m in my 90´s and I don´t take one pill." I always responded. "YOU'RE MY HERO!" Rest in peace Johnny. You are one of a kind and will never be forgotten!!! GOD BLESS ALWAYS!!!
