MORROW: Desmond. We announce with great sadness the loss of Desmond Morrow on May 24 at the age of 89. He passed peacefully in his sleep and was fortunate to have had many recent visits from friends and family. He is predeceased by his loving wife Ruth and survived by his children Lisa( Rick) Howard, Patti(George) Dorin, Sue Braeuer( John Kennedy), Mike ( Gabbi) Morrow and Jane( Jim) Kenzie as well as 12 grandchildren, two sisters and one brother. Des spent most of his working life as a Pathologist at KGH and was co-founder of Valley Medical Laboratories. He was a world traveller with many interests including fine woodworking, outdoor adventure, skiing, tennis and flying. Above all he was a devoted husband and father and will be missed dearly. His incredible sense of humour continued to touch the lives of those around him, even through the physical challenges he faced in his latter years.
