Also survived by brother-in-law Norman (late Effie), sister-in-law Jean Ivall (late Lloyd), as well as many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by brothers Winston (Irene), Wesley (Pauline) and Kenneth (Marion). Enlisted in R.C.A.F. in the spring of 1941 and discharged in June 1946. 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. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Queensway-Carleton Hospital or the Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre Foundation. Cremation will take place, there will be no viewing as per Morris' wishes. Interment will be determined at a later date in Buckingham at St. Andrew's Cemetery.
