Dear Aunt Lorrie and Cousins Sean & Andrea,
My Uncle was a beloved husband & father and how I wish that you didn't know this sorrow and grief. Aunt Lorrie always spoke so lovingly about Uncle Chuck and it is abundantly clear just how much he is loved and cherished by his family. It is never easy to say goodbye and the Morrison family puzzle will always miss the vital piece that is Uncle Chuck.
Fair winds and following seas, Uncle Chuck.
With love from The Brown Family:
Bill, Heather, Nicholas, and Vincent Brown

This photograph of Uncle Chuck, Uncle Mike, and my Grandfather Morrison pre-dates my birth. My mother gave me a copy a few years ago and it has been displayed in my home ever since.

“Eternal rest grant to Chuck O Lord, and may light perpetual shine on his soul.” This is what my friend’s parish priest, in Los Angeles, said when she told him about the passing of my husband, Chuck Morrison. Chuck’s story was related to Father Vincent by my friend at her church. Let me express my sincere gratitude for his prayers for Chuck for the next month at his morning mass. My friend, Vicky, told me Father Vincent said in a recent sermon, "God is not on a cloud. He is as close as your breath." These are such truly beautiful words to remember.

Our hearts are broken. Although we didn't get to see Chuck and family as often as we would have liked, they have always been in our hearts.
We were so sorry to hear of Chuck's passing. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.
With love and sympathy, Mike & Karen

We grew up watching the 49er's. Here's dad thinking he's being Joe cool by holding his thumbs up like the Fonz.

It might be hard for people to understand this photo but this is how I remember things. Sitting at the kitchen table. Eating lunch. That's how it always was. My favorite time.

Life is really too short. Those who know me well, know I was born in San Diego, California in 1972. In the late 70’s, my family moved to the Bay Area. This was right around the beginning of the big Silicon Valley boom. My dad left the Navy after 13 years of service and moved our family up here in order to pursue a career in technology. We were a family of nerds and my dad was the captain of the ship. We were going to sail into the future, full of hope and big dreams ahead.
In the early days, I played soccer and my dad was my coach. I was also in the Boy Scouts and my dad was my den leader. Star Wars was released in 1977. At 4 years old, I was just old enough for my dad to take me to go see it. My family ate dinner every night together. My dad gave me talking to’s about all the things good and bad as we all sat around the table in such a traditional way. On the weekends, my dad and I built things with the computer (including the computer itself), built stuff in the garage out of wood, did lots of yard work — lots and lots and lots and lots of yard work (like really a lot of yard work, I’m not kidding!), pushing a wheelbarrow moving rocks, dirt, twigs and such, riding down to the lumber store to pick up bender-board for landscaping, staying up late at night printing homework on the dot matrix printer only to find a spelling error and having to spend another hour reprinting it, and even family trips to pick grapes in the wine country. We did a lot together for all the years as I grew up. Too many things to list them all here. But all things that were everlasting in my mind that I will always be lucky enough to keep with me.
Over the weekend my dad passed away. The short version of the story is that he had been fighting heart and lung problems for about 10 years now. But those problems increased a lot in the last year and became extremely life threatening in the last 2 months. He gave it everything he had to keep moving forward. On Saturday morning, enough was enough and my dad found peace at last.
What I had with my dad, I will always carry with me. The wisdom he showed me, the guidance he gave me, our experiences together and even his goofy humor. And for that reason I don’t actually see this as a loss. I am celebrating my father for who he has always been to me and for how lucky I was to have him. For me, he is still with me and always will be. For me, he is always listening and always watching over as he has always done. My dad never got to go fishing. It was something he always wanted to do and he had been talking about it lately. Dad, you can finally go fishing now. I love you, dad. I’ll see you again soon. Love, Sean
