• Notes

  MORRISSEY, John Cameron (Jack) - (February 12, 1924 - January 24, 2008) It is with great sadness, that we announce, the peaceful passing, at St. Mary's Hospital, in Kitchener, of a very special man, who was a loving husband, devoted father, proud grandfather and a caring brother. Jack Morrisey was the beloved husband of Jacqueline "Jackie" (nee Basler) for 47 years. Dearest father of Lisa and her husband Bernhard Wiehle, and Catherine and her husband Kevin Walker, and a special grandfather to Michael John Walker. He was a caring brother to Francis Irving Morrissey and his wife Dorothy of Sarnia; brother-in-law to Marie Linden of Listowel, John and Alice Basler of Elmira, George and Sharon Basler of Listowel, Tom and Sandy Basler of Listowel, John and Debbie Huck of Kitchener, Doug and Diane Letson of West Montrose. Jack is lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by his parents, John Morrissey and Catherine Cameron; three brothers-in-law, Jim Basler, Bill Linden, and Jack Seiler; two sister-in-law, Theresa Basler, Eileen Huck; one niece, Christine Seiler. Jack worked in the lumber industry for many years in South Western Ontario and the United States while employed by Laidlaw Lumber and MacMillan Bloedel. He was a veteran of the Second World War, serving as a Wireless Air Gunner with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was an active golfer at Greeenwood Golf Course in Sarnia. Jack also enjoyed traveling to interesting locales with his family. Jack's lifelong compassion and devotion to his family will remain in our hearts forever. The family would like to thank Doctor W. Kindrachuk of Sarnia, Dr. R. Fowlis and his nursing staff of Kitchener. A special thank you to the compassionate and caring staff of the I.C.U. at St. Mary's Hospital in Kitchener for their efforts during his valiant final confrontation with heart related problems. The family will receive their friends and relatives at the Dreisinger Funeral Home in Elmira on Sunday, January 27, 2008 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, January 28, 2008 at St. Teresa of Avila R.C. Church, on Flamingo Drive in Elmira at 11 a.m. with Father Paul S. Voisin (C.R.) officiating, followed by interment in St. Theresa's R.C. Cemetery at RR 1, Elmira. Parish prayers will be offered at the funeral home on Sunday evening at 8: 45 p.m. Donations to the St. Mary's Hospital Cardiac Care Unit or St. Teresa of Avila R.C. Church Building Fund would be appreciated by the family as expressions of sympathy. "Dad, you will live in our hearts forever" "There is a link that death cannot sever; love and remembrance will last forever" The Record Newspaper - Jan. 25, 2008
