Rochester, NY passed away on Thursday, October 9th 2025 at age 90.
Jim was born in Olean, NY on October 2nd, 1935. He was the son of (Roy Morris and Doris Wildrick Morris), brother of (Thomas and Michael Morris), and father of Kimberly Facteau who predeceased him.
He is survived and missed by his wife, Donna Morris, happily married for 63 years. His legacy lives on through his son David Morris (Renee), daughter Karen Munici (Sam), brother Roy Morris, grand-daughter Jessica Hulse (Ian), and great-granddaughters Lucy and Mia Hulse who lovingly knew him as “Golden Papa.”
Jim was a proud Veteran of the U.S. Navy. After honorably serving his country he went on to have a successful career at Eastman Kodak. In retirement he could be found tending to the family’s beloved cottage on Honeoye Lake where he was a friendly neighbor to all, especially the local dogs. He enjoyed football and was a huge fan of the Buffalo Bills. He was a strong family man and loved spending time with those he loved. His supportive presence was felt by all, as was his infectious sense of humor.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Honor Flight’s Rochester chapter, so that other Veterans may experience the “trip of a lifetime” to visit Washington D.C’s veteran memorials.
So sorry to hear of Uncle Jim’s passing. I remember his beautiful smile, often tinged by a bit of mischief. He, Aunt Donna and family are in my thoughts and prayers.
