Mr. Morris worked at the former Lehn & Fink Products
Corp. of Lincoln for 45 years, first in shipping,
then receiving and the tank farm. He was born in
Lincoln on July 13, 1929.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Doris
Billington Morris; one son, Paul (and Kari) Morris
of Sobieski, Wis.; one daughter, Charla Bess of
Lincoln; four grandchildren, Charles "Chuck" Morris
in the U.S. Air Force, Lorene Morris Johnston of
Sobieski, and Clarissa and Daryl Bess of Lincoln;
and one great-granddaughter, Caroline Johnston.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William
Sr. and Frances Stokes Morris; two sisters, Alice
(Mrs. Fred) Allen and Frances Hopp Clinard; and a
brother, Boyd.
He was a member of Lincoln Christian Church and
formerly worked with the youth and served as a
deacon. He particularly enjoyed being part of a team
who took weekly Communion and words of encouragement
to those who were unable to participate at church
due to health issues.
He was a member of Local 316 of the Chemical
Workers Union. |
The family owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Dennis Carroll
and the staff of the emergency room and intensive
care unit at ALMH for their professional and
personal care.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests gifts to
Lincoln Christian Church or Lincoln Christian
University.
