Richard Morrison

Richard was a highly regarded attorney practicing criminal law in Lake County. He also was at one time a prosecuting attorney in Lake County Courts. He worked hard all his life, hardly taking time off for vacations. Law was his life.

Richard was a frequent visitor at the Mentor Senior Center where he held court. He was the unofficial coach of the chair volleyball team. He practiced yoga in the classes held there and was surrounded by his loving friends at the senior center. He spent his spare time bird watching (in the little down time he allowed himself).

Richard was the dear brother of Fern (Melvyn) Deutsch of Reminderville, Ohio; cherished uncle of Lindsey (Michael) Steinberger of Reminderville, Ohio; he was predeceased by his parents Howard and Mildred Morrison.
