Howard   James Morrison

July 28th, 1935 ~ September 27th, 2018

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the FAITH."  2 Timothy 4:7

H oward Morrison was born on July 28th, 1935 to his parents Irene Harris Morrison and James Morrison in Hoke County, North Carolina.  He graduated from Up Church high school in 1952. He moved to New Jersey shortly thereafter. He resided in Teaneck, New Jersey over the last forty years.

He was united in holy matrimony to Sharon Louise Jones on December 21st, 1968.  Through this union they were blessed with one child, Rosa Lee Morrison.

Howard worked hard. He was a custodian with Kaplan JCC on the Palisade in Tenafly New Jersey. Howard loved his family; he was there when you needed him. Howard was a man's, man, yet he was a laid-back gentle giant.  You could find him planted in front of the T.V during baseball season watching his beloved Mets. Around basketball season he would entertain us by screaming at the television yelling at his New York Knickerbockers as he coached them from his living room couch.  On any giving weekday morning you would find him hanging out with the fellas having coffee at McDonald on Palisade Avenue. Howard was a charming and charismatic man.  He loved life, dancing and just having a cold one with the guys.

Howard leaves to cherish his memory; daughter, Rosa Lee Morrison of Teaneck New Jersey; sons, Anthony Day of North Carolina, Perry and James King of New York, sisters Pearl Morrison of Raeford, North Carolina, and Mable King of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Howard was preceded in death by his loving wife Sharon Morrison, parents James and Irene Morrison, three brothers, Lonnie, Jack and Earnest Morrison; and sister Hattie Mae Morrison.

Howard was a devoted son, husband, father, uncle, cousin and friend. He is loved by many and will be remembered often.
