Albert ""Bert"" Edward Morrison

November 25, 1929 – February 7, 2014

Bert Morrison passed away peacefully, with his family by his side, on February 7th, at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon.   He was 84 years old.  Bert is survived by his wife Elsie, daughter Darla (Steve) Allan, sons Gary (Shannon), Kevin (Adele), Dale, Neil (Jenny), Monte (Tiffiny), 12 grandchildren Katie, Josie, Lauren, Amanda, Max, Kash, Chad, Erica, Matthew, Kristopher, Ryan, and Rachael, three great-grandchildren Colby, Grayson, and Caleb, his brother Arthur (Kathleen) Morrison, sisters-in-law Leona and Justina Morrison, brothers-in-law Eric and Arthur Lutz, and numerous nieces and nephews. Bert was born in Davidson.  He married Elsie Lutz, November 18, 1961, and in the space of nine years, they added six children to the family farm. In 1981, Bert made the difficult decision to give up farming and move the family to an acreage near Saskatoon.  He soon embraced Elsie’s passion for gardening, and together, they produced an abundance of fruits and vegetables from their greenhouse and enormous garden.  Bert joined the Saskatoon Farmers Market and could be found downtown most Saturday afternoons happily selling produce from the back of his truck.  Bert and Elsie retired to Saskatoon in 1996.  Bert continued to seize every chance he got to meet new people, and to share stories with old acquaintances, by volunteering at the Western Development Museum and driving the courtesy cart at Circle Park Mall. Bert's memorial service will be held in the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens Chapel, in Saskatoon, on Wednesday February 12, 2014, at 2:00 p.m.  Committal service to follow in Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
