Dear Sheila, John and family, We were sorry to learn of the death of George. We have fond memories of him and Genevieve from our time at Bromley Road Baptist Church in Ottawa. He demonstrated both strength and gentleness and smiled easily. We appreciated his wisdom and life experience. We are grateful for his relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and for the words of Jesus, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me though they die yet shall they live." John 11:25 We are remembering you in prayer.

It has always been a privilege to be part of your extended family and your dad was the pinnacle of that. He was such a good man in all ways, I will treasure the memories I have of him. He truly touched the lives of so many and made such a positive difference in the world. He will be so missed.

To George's family and friends, My condolences on your loss; and how very fortunate you were to either be related to, or friends with George. Such a caring and compassionate man. I knew George while he lived at Harmer House in Nepean. I feel so honoured to have known George, and to have spent time with him. He was always so generous with his time and talent. He was one of those few people who made a huge contribution to our country, our city, and our community, which society has derived so much benefit, one person can make a difference. My personal connection to George was when he joined my campaign team when I was running for Municipal Council. We spent many hours together during which time we walked and talked. At the time my children were teenagers, the wise counsel he gave me during our walks was invaluable. I will always remember George for his smile, compassion, kindness, generosity, wisdom, and commitment to his faith. Kindest Regards and Affectionate memories. Former Ottawa Regional Councillor, Molly McGoldrick-Larsen

Dear Sheila, John and family; We were saddened to hear of George's passing. We have so many fond memories of time spent with he and your Mom. He was always so happy, friendly, and helpful. One of our happy memories was when our girls were young, your parents invited us to a Zen dinner (where you eat with only two fingers). We sat around your coffee table and ate, and then he served dessert! Jello!! he laughed watching us try to eat it with two fingers. You and are girls had a great time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The happy memories you have will help you in the difficult days ahead.

Fond memories of George from his time as Pastor for Pleasant Park Baptist Church. Such a friendly, sincere and modest person. And so well liked by the children. I remember a departing gift to him from our son and the other boys was a fishing rod. And the time he took time to put on his Lisgar Collegiate hat to counsel our same son when he did not know where he wanted to go with his education. George would have been gratified to know he achieved graduation with an MBA.

I would like to send my deepest condolences to both Sheila, John and your families, George was a wonderful educator and friend to my family. I remember many card games and invitations for swimming here in Ottawa; I remember how George would play with my son as a baby, and how your family welcomed us for many years at Crystal Beach. Please take comfort that he is finally reunited with Genevieve, I would like to thank you all for the lovely memories and your friendship through the years. I miss those wonderful times and memories, and hope that you take comfort that George will never be forgotten, may God bless you all. With love, Jane & Brian Vaughan

We know that having lead such a long and rich life does not make this hurt go away. Take comfort in all that he taught us and how rich his influence was on each of us. Rest in HIS comfort and in the warmth of your friends and family. With warm regards, Shawn and Catherine Taylor

So sorry for your loss. My family and yours had many enjoyable times together. I know my parents thought of George and Genevieve almost as extended family. I have memories of George as a guidance counsellor at my school (especially an "encounter" weekend he ran at a campground I can't remember where) and of his kind support through my parents illnesses.

I was on the staff of Lisgar Collegiate Institute from 1980 to 1986 with George, and our offices were close to each other. George was a kind and effective Head of Guidance who always put the best interests of the students in front of the staff. He was a school leader and represented the best of the teaching profession. When he was living at Harmer House, I encountered him in retirement, but he was as active in retirement as he was when he was teaching! He gave to our society and country in wonderful ways and he lived his life to the fullest. Rest in peace George, you have earned it.

On behalf of the Congregation of the Glace Bay Baptist Church, we wish to extend our sincere sympathy to Sheila and John and their extended family on the recent death of Rev. Morrison. Mr. & Mrs. Morrison came to Glace Bay in 1954 to 1958. He was a great youth leader and became very involved in Camp Holmestead as did Mrs. Morrison. He was involved with the coal miners and was instructor of Religious Studies for the NUrses at the Glace Bay General Hospital School of Nursing & councelled many people. Mrs. Morrison taught in High School and was involved in music. She was a great help mate to her husband in the church and she was a wondrful C. G.I.T. leader and formed a young ladies group called "The World Wide Guild". Today it is known as the Genevieve Morrison Missionary Group. In 1979 we celebrated our 25th Jubilie (G.M.M.G.) & Mr. & Mrs. Morrison were our guest speakers & Sheila and John were both in attendance. In Sept. of this year we will be together 60 years as a group. Rev. & Mrs. Morrison were wonderful ambassadors for Christ & left a legacy of love, patience, kindness & telling others about Christ & bringing them to His fold. We were blessed to have known them and have them with us here in Glace Bay. May God bless you all & give you peace in the knowledge that Rev. & Mrs.Morrison are now together and served their Master well. Sincerely, The Congregation of Glace Bay Baptist Church Re: Patsy Grant Church Clerk
