Mr. Charles “Chuck” Morris was Military Intelligence for 20 years in the United States Air Force. He enjoyed poetry and English literature and was able to recite, in Middle English, the first eighteen lines of the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. He was a thespian and developed his love of theater and poetry early on and took pride in his knowledge of Edgar Alan Poe, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. He had a gentle nature and never met a stranger. Chuck treated strangers like friends and his friends like family. He always had an endless supply of Nips for his grandchildren and loved to cook. Rumor is, you never really had brisket or cowboy beans until you had his. He also enjoyed his alone time, where he liked to read Tom Clancy novels and watch old westerns, college football, and you could be certain of his whereabouts during March Madness.
A Memorial service will be on Thursday, January 11 at Beaty Funeral Home, 816 W. Broadway, Winnsboro, TX 75494, at 5 pm.
