Born: May 07, 1949
Date of Passing: Oct 16, 2014
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBRIAN W. MORRISON May 7, 1949 - October 16, 2014 Brian passed away after a very difficult battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his parents Bill and Pearl Morrison. Brian's life was all about his many friendships. Brian often kept to himself, but he made friends easily and was loyal to a fault. He leaves behind many friends from childhood, friends from the beginning till the end. His teen years were spent growing up in the Champlain area of Winnipeg. There was golfing at Windsor, playing spongee and boards at the rink, countless football games with the guys or a quiet game of Yankee baseball on a hot summer day. And then there were the good times at the Wood. Lots of misspent youth, obscure baseball stats (of which Brian was the expert) and lots of fun with friends. Brian was very proud of his work at the University of Manitoba...34 years and even more friendships that lasted beyond his career. Since his retirement, Brian became a mall walker and introduced himself to a whole new set of friends at the St. Vital Mall. He couldn't complete a round without saying hi to a dozen people that he knew by name. Brian saved his best friendship till the end, when he met Antoinette and her family. His one regret was not having more time to share with the family that gave him such joy and comfort, particularly in his fight with cancer. Thanks go out to the staff of the St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care unit...the caring, professional attention did not go unnoticed. Memorial donations, in lieu of flowers, may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. According to Brian's wishes, a private interment will take place.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Morrison's passing. He was a long-time client of Tupper & Adams and he was always so very kind and nice to everyone in the office, even the support staff like me. The world is now a sadder place without him. Condolences to Ms. Barbee and family. - Posted by: Heidi Cruz (Friend) on: Oct 23, 2014

I was saddened to learn of Brian's recent passing. I knew Brian during his career with the University of Manitoba Police Department when I was Deputy Chief. He was well liked by staff and students. His quiet, gentle nature, as well as a great sense of humour, was an asset when dealing with students, who would often try to take advantage of any sense of authority. He took great pride in his work and enjoyed working with his colleagues in the Department, and in turn, they liked him. Rest in Peace, my friend. - Posted by: William (Bill) Philip (Colleague) on: Oct 23, 2014

I am saddened to learn Brian has left us....from my earliest memories as a neighbour of Brian's on Genthon Street, to our innumerable times playing spongee at Champlain, many of my childhood recollections include Brian. He was always easy going, quick to laugh and one invariably had a smile when Brian was around. I also remember our many chats when I was a student at the U of M and he was "on patrol". Brian was a few years older but always had time for me and I enjoyed his company. At least now he is pain free and at peace. - Posted by: Greg Nordal (Childhood friend) on: Oct 19, 2014
