Wayne A. Morrison, Sr

Wayne A. Morrison Sr., 73, of Hebron, CT died Thursday, December 25, 2014 at St. Joseph's Living Center in Windham, CT. He was born July 27, 1941 to the late John W. and Lila G. (Davis) Morrison of Lebanon, CT. Wayne is survived by his wife of 47 years Barbara (Roy) Morrison. He served in the United States Army with the 173rd Airborne Brigade during the Vietnam era. Wayne was retired from Hallamore Motor Transport out of Massachusetts where he was a rigging foreman. Wayne loved hard work and upon retirement spent countless hours at the homes of his children working on projects for them, no job was too big. We should have named him the cordwood king. He enjoyed splitting and stacking wood more than going on vacation. But that was who he was. Wayne is survived by his three children, Wayne A. Morrison Jr and his wife Nola of Columbia, Kelly A. Teixeira and her husband Anthony of Lebanon and Jason E. Morrison and his fiancAC. Christianne Wolfson of Andover and a very special grandson, Matthew A. Teixeira of Lebanon. He is also survived by two brothers, Richard Morrison and his wife Joyce of Lebanon, John Morrison and his wife Gloria of Tennessee; and a sister Susan Morrison of Vermont. Wayne was predeceased by two sisters, Marilyn Muldoon, Corinne Morrison and a brother, Donald Morrison. It saddens Wayne's family that he had to endure court, a place where he was most uncomfortable and waste what precious time he had left due to a malevolent neighbor. Wayne was trusting of others and this taught him a hard lesson late in life. Services will be private, with no calling hours. Memorial contributions may be made in Wayne's memory to the: Norton Children's Fund Commission, C/O Andover Town Office building, 17 School Road, Andover, CT 06232.
