Joe was a 35 year resident of Irving and was moving towards retirement in Willow Park. As a journeyman electrician he was a wonderful "Johnny-in-the-spot" and servant to friends and family. "Jack of all trades" and master of none was his slogan whether serving his neighbors or family. Classified a 4-F in the military, he would have loved to serve his country but was denied. He was a devout car enthusiast and loved NASCAR and drag racing. He always said his greatest assets were his friends. A true and faithful husband and loving father. Joe was preceded in death by his mother, Mozell Morris; his father, Joel B. Morris; and sister, Shirley Higgs. Survivors: Wife, Jan Morris; son, Jace Morris and wife, Candice, all of Willow Park; siblings, Louise Mann of Sacramento, Calif., Helen Slate of Palestine, Richard Webb of Willow Park, Kenneth Morris of Southlake, Judy Haltom of Springtown, Bobby Morris of Irving, Betty Gonzales of Weatherford; and grandson, Zack Morris.
