Paul Joseph Morris Sr., 85, of Bristol, passed away on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at his residence surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of the late Nicoletta (Grande) Morris.

Born in Fall River, MA, he was the son of the late Joseph and Mary (Flowers) Morris.

    Oh Old Man... there's so much to say, that I can't even start to find the words. For every time I've cried since you left, a memory floods and I start laughing, just how you would want it. No tears, just smiles. There would never be enough time or words to tell you what you mean or how much I love you and how I can never truly thank you for everything you ever did for me. You're the greatest grandfather a girl could have ever asked for or chosen. I miss you so much, Pop. Until we meet again, make sure you hug her for me okay

    Poppy- there never seems to be enough time. I'm grateful for the memories we shared, like riding in the back of your station wagon with all of the seats down knowing we shouldn't, but you still let us. It's probably because we should've been more worried about you driving in both lanes 🙂 you were so good at that. You put everyone's wants and needs before you own, and without hesitation. Whatever life through your way, you rolled with the punches and with a smile on your face. You're inspiring, gracious, and have such a beautiful soul. The true definition of a man! You'll be forever loved and missed. I promise to make sure your boys are taken care of anyway I can. I love you ❤️ -Melissa Morris
