One of only a few great men in the world. Taken to the heavens far to soon. I remember the time spent at Henderson's Road, I could listen to Morris for hours soaking up his story's and knowledge. Always engaging and could light up a room without even trying. Rest Easy Morris.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Captain Hook - a truly gentle soul. Always ready with a story, a laugh, and a smile that lit up the room, you touched the hearts of everyone lucky enough to know you.

You will be dearly missed, but never forgotten.

Sorry for your loss - rest in peace, Captain.
