Morley is survived by his wife of 44 years, Debbie, and their son Nathan, of Toronto.

He was predeceased by his parents Max and Bessie Rinzler and his sister Juanita Sable.

Morley was born in Campbellton, New Brunswick, later moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he attended school. He went on to receive both his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the University of New Brunswick. Morley was admitted to the Bar in 1972. In 2022, he received a Certificate of Life Membership from the Law Society of New Brunswick for having been a member in good standing of the Society for fifty years.
