It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Earle Morris, 86, of Sydney on Friday morning, April 22, 2016, after a lengthy illness. Earle died at home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born in Sydney, and was the youngest son of the late Thomas James 'TJ' and Caroline Margaret (MacKenzie) Morris.
Until his retirement, Earle was Deputy Clerk for the City of Sydney. He was a board member of the Sydney Credit Union and a member of An Tulloch Gorm Society. Earle enjoyed flying planes, boating, scuba diving and building boats. He was an avid reader and enjoyed spending time at the family bungalow in East Bay. Earle's many passions included genealogy, Celtic music, and crossword puzzles. His quick wit, keen sense of humour, and infectious laugh will be missed by all that knew him.
