He married Bonnie Neufeld in 1966. Together they had three children, Jon, Myra and Sarah.
Morris enjoyed working various trades, which took him from Henderson, Sidney and Pleasanton and eventually to Heathrow, Fla. Wherever Morris went, he was fast to make friends. He loved to talk and meet new people. He looked forward to his outings with his siblings. Card games were always played and conversation was aplenty.
