Morris spent 33 months in Gander, Nfld., Alaska Highway, and Watson Lake. He updated weather for dispatching planes going overseas. Morris was the founding member of Kemp's Barn Dance and "The Kemps" band. He was a highly acclaimed square dance caller throughout Buckingham and the surrounding area. Special thanks to John Gorman and Harold Arthur for keeping the music so sweet throughout most of Morris' life. The family would also like to thank the staff of 3-A at Queensway-Carleton, Dr. Bowles and Morris' best friend and caregiver, Beverly Gilchrist.
