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"
Our hearts and prayers are with Del and all of the Morrill Family in the death of Justin, family, colleague, and friend of many. We give thanks for his (and Del's) leadership with "Area New York" when we were assigned there and many other places. May the legacy of his leadership and compassion, his many talents, and the gift of his whole life continue to be a source of comfort, inspiration, peace, and hope to his family and friends all those whose lives he touched now and in the days to come.

When we opened up a house in Anchorage Alaska, a remote location where we rarely got to see our colleagues, I still remember Justin's visits as comforting and collegial. We were always pleased when he came.

When we were in the Kabiro Project hosting people during the International Women’s Conference there and people came to see Kabiro, we showed them the pre-school with Sam Were and Ester Were, but it was Justin who asked where will these children go to school after preschool? Later when we visited Kabiro, their youngest son in Middle school associated with the Episcopal Church was happy that someone thought about education beyond Pre-School. Later he went to college supported by nuns from the Catholic Church across the road from the Kabiro Market. Sam would have been proud to see him graduate, but he died soon after we saw the Middle School. I thought Justin was the original man with a question, and it was always on target. Of course I only met Joe Matthews twice in passing. Sending love and peace to his family! Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook

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!
