John William Morris was born March 5th, 1944 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He enlisted in the Navy in 1965, serving in Alaska, Puerto Rico, Maine, the Azores, Japan, and San Diego during a 20 year career. After retiring from the Navy in 1985, he developed numerous information technologies during a career with several prominent defense firms and as an independent consultant, contributing tremendously to the fields of internet technology and telecommunications before moving on to launch his own successful business in the 1990s.
John selflessly helped anyone he could, volunteering his time and talents in the community with his church and at the Newport Aquarium. He participated in local woodworking groups and practiced numerous hobbies, but showered his love on his beloved family, including his wife Sally, whom he married in 1976, and his children, Gynithe and Donovan, and assorted canine and feline family members.
He passed suddenly on the afternoon of Friday, September 4th, 2009, without pain, and his memorial service will be at noon Sunday, September 13th, 2009 at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 38 N. Bayview Rd, Waldport, OR 97394. |
