Morris took great pride in his work at the golf course. He always said he felt very lucky to have a job he loved. He was an avid golfer and won the AVCC club championship in 1971. He was also a star basketball and baseball player during high school. Some of his fondest memories include fly fishing in the fall in New Brunswick with his son, skiing with his granddaughter at Wildcat, watching his kids grow up playing sports and renovating and building houses with his wife. Morris was a talented self taught carpenter and loved spending time with his Saint Bernard dogs throughout the years. He was a long time fan of the Buffalo Bills and Montreal Canadians.
