Thomas K. Morris 1938-2022

Tom was born Sept. 7, 1938, in Youngstown, a son to John and Catherine Sanderson Booth. Tom attended Girard High School and was a lifelong resident of Girard.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army.

Tom had worked for McDonald Steel and later Packard Electric, where he was known as “The Goose.”

In his spare time, Tom enjoyed bowling, fishing, playing bingo, listening to 1950s and 1960s music, and was an old-car enthusiast. He loved being in the outdoors and was an animal lover. Tom was an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cleveland Indians.

But most of all, Tom enjoyed his time with his family and being a “Papa” to his grandson, Steven.

Tom will be greatly missed by his daughter, Kim Garland of McDonald; grandson, Steven Garland; brother, Eddy (Eileen) Morris of Kansas; nephew, Shawn Morris; and his beloved dogs, Zeus and Jax.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his nephew, Tommy Morris; and foster brothers, Fred, Charlie and Robert Morris.

Private graveside services will be held for the family at Kerr Cemetery. Visit www.blackstonefuneralhome.com to view this obituary and to send any expressions of sympathy to the family.
