Morris enjoyed driving his 1997 brown Blazer around town and attending races in Huron.
Morris had a deep affection for animals, especially his dachshunds, Buttercup and Mira, whom he spoke of to everyone he met. He was a familiar face at Jack's Sinclair, where he enjoyed meeting with his regular lunch group to talk with members of the community. An avid sports fan, he rarely missed a chance to watch basketball or football on the sports channels. He also took great pride in his "small home," which was a converted schoolhouse he had remodeled.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gustav and Alma.
