Daniel Morrison
January 19, 1937 — October 31, 2021
NISKAYUNA- Daniel Morrison (formerly of Shelburne, VT) peacefully went to be with the Lord on October 31, 2021.
He was born January 19, 1937 in Easthampton, MA, the son of the late Harry and Bertha Morrison. He was also predeceased by his brothers: Jim, Bob and Dick; his special friends and brothers-in-laws: Frank Delcroix, Ron Phillips, Bob Stewart and Bill King; and his sisters-in-laws: Joanne Burnash, Nance King, Diane Stewart and Judy Lawton.
Dan was proud to be a citizen of the USA, and proudly served his country in the Army of the United States, being honorably discharged in February of 1963.
Dan served the Gill-Montague Regional School District for 35 years retiring in 1994 as the Superintendent of Schools. After retiring Dan worked for IBM, Burlington Furniture and Lowe's. Dan was well respected in his positions.
With a never ending sense of humor, Dan kept the laughter coming. Forever a teacher, people were always learning from Dan as he captured them in the many stories he had to tell. He never forgot his roots of growing up on the last Poor Farm in Easthampton, MA a time of his life Dan loved talking about.
Dan and Kathleen had a wonderful 27 years together taking time to do nothing but be together. Some mentioned Dan's love of reading and although he had a wonderful collection of books, so many new books were untouched as he never took time away from his sweetheart for reading. Together they enjoyed antiques, auctions, flea markets, gardening, family get-togethers and cooking, walks holding hands and enjoying their love story. Dan at a time of life enjoyed fly fishing using his Thomas Fly Rod.
Dan is survived by the love of his life, his sweetheart Kathleen (Stewart) Morrison. He is also survived by daughters: Jennifer Morrison-Garza of Ohio, Paula (Mark) Mabry of Virginia and step-daughter, Jaclyn (Jarred) Spaulding of North Carolina; his sister, Marjorie Delcroix of So. Hadley, Massachusetts and his in-law family, Vicki Morrison (Massachusetts),Chris & Bob Rivers (Stillwater), Jeanette & Wayne Frey (Myrtle Beach), Patsy Stewart (Latham), Sue & Mike Briggs (Albany), Ginny Phillips (Glenmont), Patricia Stewart (Albany) and Leon Stewart (Leicester, MA). Also survived by seven grandchildren, many nieces and nephews.
Dan's wish was to not have a service, but is requesting everyone make a donation to the Parkinson Foundation in his name.
