Ronald Lee "Ron" Morris

Sept. 28, 1950 ~ Nov. 7, 2015

Ronald "Ron" Lee Morris was born on Sept. 28, 1950, to Chester and Evelyn Morris in Siloam Springs, Ark., and died on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015, in Morrilton, Ark..

The family relocated to Enid, Okla., in 1956 where Ron attended Enid public schools and graduated from Enid High School in 1969.

He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1970. He served as a fire control technician repairing radar and weapons control systems aboard the destroyer, the USS Morton, patrolling the Tonkin Gulf off the coast of Vietnam.

He was honorably discharged in 1976. Ron was very proud and spoke fondly of his time serving with the U.S. Navy.

Ron used his military electronics training to secure a civilian career as a switch technician for various landline and wireless phone companies and recently retired from the telecommunications industry.

In his off time, he enjoyed fishing with friends and family.

When he was younger, he spent time noodling for Flathead Catfish in the Salt Fork and Chikaskia Rivers. He was quick witted and always had a snappy comeback. Ron was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his sisters, Geraldine Cordell of Tahlequah and Vera Morris and husband Norman Glass of Norman; and brother, David Morris and wife Lori of Yukon, Okla.

He also leaves behind his uncle Jack Baker of Oklahoma City, aunt Geneva Baker of Portland Ore., and several nieces.
