It is with great sadness that the family of Richard Morrison announce his sudden passing on April 1, 2024, at LaVerendrye Hospital in Fort Frances.

In his life, Richard had many jobs in forestry, mining, prospecting, and construction. He had a passion for being on the land and working with his hands. He took pride in what he accomplished and told many stories about his travels and people he met along the way.
Richard will be remembered for his kindness, sense of humour, love of music, and sports. He was a great uncle to many and loved spending time with his family.
Richard is survived by his nieces and nephews Reo Walton (Mandi), Roger Morrison, Bobby Morrison (Janelle), Joanie Morrison (Steven) and Elaine Walsh (Craig); many great nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by cousins and friends.
