Charles “Charlie” A. Morris, age 78, of Ripon, WI, passed away on Monday, March 11, 2019 at St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac, WI.
Charlie was born on November 16, 1940 in Gloucester, MA, the son of John and Elva (Byrnes) Morris. After high school he went on to proudly serve our country in the U.S. Army. He attended Washington Bible College in Lanham, MD where he received a degree in Biblical Education. Charlie was a pastor in York, ME for 10 years. He married Dianne Elwell and later divorced. On May 1, 1983 he married Jill Fuqua and they moved to Wisconsin. Charlie enjoyed building things, and was an excellent carpenter. He worked as Building and Grounds Manager at the Heidel House in Green Lake, WI for 10 years. He was also an Eagle Scout and cherished his time outdoors with his dad, especially by the ocean, growing up on the east coast. Charlie loved God and sharing his faith with others. He was a member of Ripon Community Church. In his spare time he would build models of ships and was a perfectionist. Charlie was a warm, friendly man, but also was not afraid to speak his mind.
Charlie is survived by his wife, Jill S.
