My name is Jennifer Wyatt. John Morrison and I worked together at the Borders Book store on Southfield and Thirteen Mile in Beverley Hills.  We worked together for over twenty two years.  John was a major history buff and was also extremely knowledgeable in architecture and art.  John was a stellar bookseller. John also had a wonderful sense of humor. John would often bring in chocolates and put them in everyone's mail boxes. John and I shared a love for art and would go down to the D.I.A and soak up all of the art. John was a gentleman and a scholar..  Rest In Peace, John. You are very much missed. Jennifer Wyatt

Thinking of you today, John. Hard to believe you've been gone for four years. Frank and I miss your kindness and all the fun we had together at our lunches. We continue to see Paul. Life is so fragile. 

Love,
Gaye

Just heard of this after almost 2 years. Made me very sad. Sincere sympathy to brother Paul and the rest of the family. I will listen to 'Egdon Heath' in his honor. On your way. Rest in peace.

Every time I  visit the D.I.A, Panera, and Cranbrook, I always remember the many great times we had at all three places.  The D.I.A is at the top of my list when it comes to good memories. The sadness that I feel regarding your passing is always diminished somewhat when I remember the many laughs,  our friendship and your sense of play, and your sense of humor that was ever present whenever we got together. I always visit the  Caravaggio first when I visit, followed by the picture of the lion lying on the beach. The painting is called Solitude . The artist name was Jean-Léon Gérôme, French, 1824-1904.  When I saw the title of the painting, I could understand why you liked the painting, given your admiration for Henry David Thoreau.  Again, we all miss you. Take care. Jennifer

It's been one year since you died, John. Frank and I continue to miss you. You were a cherished friend. We will always stay close to your twin, Paul.
Love,
Gaye

John is a kind and gentle soul. I never saw John get angry with anyone - although I do remember that he and Jennifer made a hobby of teasing each other. That playfulness kept them close.

Just as I do for Elaine Morse and Tim Gable, I will pray for you daily, John. May God bless you always.

Vicki




My sincere condolences to John's family and friends. I remember him being generous with his Pepperidge Farm cookies in the break room at Borders. Jennifer, your eulogy of him in this string of posts is very lovely. He was lucky to have a friend like you.

 I will always remember our music discussions fondly. Vaughan Williams Tallis fantasia will make me think of you all the more now. Rest In Peace, John.

John Morrison and I have been friends for over thirty years. We met at the Borders Book Store store on Thirteen Mile and Southfield in Birmingham.  John and I started our friendship by giving each other friendly grief and that pattern lasted through our years of working together at Borders and our years of friendship after the company went under.   I have always had a high degree of respect for John and his book knowledge.   John was also a gentleman and a scholar. While working at Borders, John went back to Wayne State University and received his Master's degree in Library Science. John was the sweetheart who would bring in chocolates for all of the women on staff and put the chocolates in our mailboxes. John was my D.I.A partner. We spent many hours walking around the  D.I.A. soaking up the art. John's favorite artist was Caravaggio. We would always look at the Caravaggio painting first and then move on to other equally important artists.  John had a wonderful sense of humor which he often displayed at my expense.  Of course, I would return the favor.   John also had a great interest in Thomas Jefferson and his stately Virginia home, Monticello.  To me, John was a dear, dear friend who will never be replaced.  I loved him dearly. Rest in peace John. You will be missed by all of us.  Jennifer Wyatt

We miss you already, John.  So glad that Frank and I saw you and Paul 4 weeks ago at Starbucks.  We'll continue to get together with Paul.  I'll be at your funeral.  Frank has to work.
Love,
Gaye
