Paul Morris departed this life on 9/27/25. Born to Elvie and Hugh J Morris 4/06/1945, Paul was the youngest of 10 children. He was a former member of the Granite Corinthian Mason Lodge, DelVets Post #1 for 30 years, member of Moose Lodge #1578 in New Castle, and Moose Lodge #646 in Lewes. He worked for InSteel Wire Co. (former Forbes Steel) New Castle for 31 years. He retired to Sussex County. He worked at Lowe’s in Rehoboth until a medical issue forced him to leave in 2003.
Paul is predeceased by his parents; 8 siblings: Hugh, Walter, Annabell, Charles, Ed, Louise, Jimmy, & Elvie; his children: Donna Marie, Tammy, & Ed; and his granddaughter Kimberly Ann Morris. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Dolly; his son, Paul Jr (Kelly) of Newark, Mrs. Ed Morris (Vicki) of Wilmington; 1 sister, Harriet of Wilmington; 7 grandchildren: Ashley (Nate), Lexie (Brent), Paul III (Dave), Amber, Tyler, Dylan, and Morgan; 6 great grandchildren: Addison, Tristan, McKenna, Keira, Kemper Lynn, and Jasiah.
Paul loved to go to the slots in Harrington, going fishing with June and John, playing Texas Hold ‘em on 3-way phone calls with his son and grandsons so he could tease them about their playing. The best titles for Paul besides Dad were Pops, Poppi, & P-man. He loved them all.
Funeral services will be held on October 8th, 2025: 10am Viewing/Visitation, 11am Service at McCrery & Harra on Kirkwood Highway and Duncan Road. Interment will follow at Gracelawn Cemetery. We ask everyone to dress casually as Paul himself will be in Eagles’ attire. So, Eagles shirts, Philly shirts, jeans, etc. We want everyone to be as comfortable as we are.
The family would like to thank the Hospice team in Sussex County, especially his nurse for over a year (Heather), and his nurse here (Elaine) for all their compassion and care for Paul.
