Morris was a graduate of Leavittsburg High School, where he held the pole vaulting record for the State of Ohio at ages 16-17.

He was a member of the Old Erie Lodge #3 F&AM. He was accomplished at fishing, hunting, golfing, bowling, archery and incredibly gifted wood crafter with his "big" hands. There was nothing "Moe" couldn't do. He touched the lives of many throughout his life. He had an incredibly big, helping heart and was loved by all who were blessed to know him.
