Frank Rich Morrison, Age:90

Frank was born at Evanston Hospital the first of eight. In third grade his family moved to Pittsburgh where he had great friends and loved running track and playing football. In his senior year he moved back and graduated from New Trier High School where he played varsity football. In 1951 Frank enlisted in the Marines where he served with the First Marine Aviation Wing during the Korean War. In college Frank especially loved the Humanities. He was an avid eclectic reader but he had a special fondness for the Beat writers. Married in 1968, Frank is survived by wife Cheryl, daughters Ellen Morrison (Michael Jinks), Oona (Harry) Eddleman, grandchildren Alexandra and Mark Pasulka, and Madeline and Jack Eddleman. Frank loved working outdoors as a land surveyor, and also had a used bookstore for several years near DePaul University. He had an active retirement taking painting and photography classes at a local college, and fitness classes at the Portage Park Senior Center where he also led yoga and exercise until he was 87! We are grateful for the wonderful care he received in his last weeks at Resurrection Hospital and from Rainbow Hospice at Oakton Pavillion. Services were held at his beloved parish, St. Clement Church.
