Hi all
Trying to make contact with my grandfather's brother's family. Would be very grateful for any help or suggestions.
The following obituary was published in The
Vancouver Sun newspaper (British
Columbia, Canada) on 11 September 1998. Every effort was made to record this info accurately but, if you have a connection to this family, please verify the info in the original source.
Condolences go out to the family for their loss.
MORRISON -- Michael Joseph, born May 31, 1919, in South UIST, died peacefully with his daughters at his side on September 7, 1998 at
Surrey Memorial Hospital. Predeceased by his loving spouse Nora, "Iron Mike" is survived by his devoted sister
Flora ELSWORTH and leaves his daughters Donna,
Lynne, Trudy and Rhonda; grandchildren Jamie, Janine, Shana, Michael, Claudia, Tyler, Deanna,
Alexandra and great-grandchildren Marissa and
Shoal. Mike's family emigrated from the Scottish Island of Uist in the twenties to the Canadian prairie farm communities of North Battleford and Clandonald. Here he met and married his Nora. A proud, generous and caring human being, he was admired for his strength and honesty that provided for his family through good times and lean. No one is more aware and appreciative of Mike's greatest legacies than his sons-in-law
