Warm, kind hearted and generous in every sense, we greeted each other by the other’s surname which was an expression of the warmth and humour we enjoyed over the years. You will be missed “Mr. Morris” (as we teased each other)

I have many fond memories of Uncle Grenville, all of which revolve around his dedication to and love for his family. From visiting after uni to be greeted by him in the kitchen, lovingly preparing dinner, to the pride on his face after Tracy gave birth to Duncan. What an incredible impact he’s left on so many; he will be terribly missed.
