LeRoy A. Morrison passed away in Royal Inland Hospital on February 3, 2012 at the age of 79 years. He went away from us with his wife and family by his side.

He is survived by his loving wife Helen and his two sons Douglas (Norma) and Stephen (Rhonda). He also leaves his very special grandsons David, Mathew, Bob (Sharley) and little A.J. Also his sister May (Jim) Strasman of Toronto and his brother Don (Jane) of California, a niece Corinne (Doug) and nephew Shawn (Liz) and their children.

LeRoy was born in Vancouver and lived in many communities in B.C. before settling in Westwold where he married Helen. It was here that their two sons were born.

He and his dad owned and operated a portable sawmill. He later owned the Westwold Poultry Farm until 1966. He also drove logging truck and transport truck for H.M. Trimble & Sons. He attended U.B.C. and received a Bachelor of Education degree. He taught woodworking at Valleyview Jr. Secondary for 24 years and five years at the Young Offenders Camp near Logan Lake.

His hobbies included hunting, fishing, training Labrador dogs for field trial competitions and working in his wood working shop. In the late 1980's he took up golf and joined the Rivershore Golf Club. He built a house there and has lived at the course for 22 years.

In 2002, LeRoy had a stroke which left him partially parlayed. Since then his ability to participate in many activities has been limited.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, February 11th, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel with The Very Reverend Louise Peters officiating. A reception will follow. Interment will take place at 2:00 p.m. in the Westwold Cemetery for family and friends who wish to attend.
