[Oe List ...] Justin Morrill

[w.schlesinger at pvida.net]

Our first ‘overseas’ assignment was in the Kobe House (Later Osaka) with Justin and Del Morrill.  We arrived young, and with Carol pregnant with John, our first child.  We had so much to learn.  Justin and Del were open, caring, and wonderful teachers.  They introduced us to Japan with all its complexities and misunderstandings, and helped us become engaged with patience and warmth.  They shared their own perplexities as well as the friendships they had developed.  And we learned to tell the taxi drivers, ‘Hai, koko desu’ when we arrived at the house!

The Morrill family has asked me to share the following about Justin’s death.


"Justin Irving Morrill died yesterday, October 26, at the age of 92. What a grand human he was! Pianist, husband, pastor, father, world changer and traveler, idealist, spiritual seeker, handyman, gardener, chef, fund raiser of many millions for education and Community Health Care, supporter of the arts,  grandfather and great grandfather and, most of all, a wise counselor. He was all that and more. We are celebrating a life well lived.

 

We have not yet set plans for a memorial but will communicate them when we do. Del’s address is 

7290 Rosemount Circle,  Apt 112

Tacoma 98465

 

She also can communicate pretty well via text and phone, less on email. (253) 365-1321

 

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, 

The Morrill Family"
