Alan A. Morris, 63, of Jaffrey, NH died unexpectedly on Sunday, August 27, 2017 at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, surrounded by his loving family.

Alan was born on March 13, 1954 in Westfield, MA, son of Herman and Genevieve (Cooper) Morris. He was a 1975 graduate of the Westfield Trade School, where he studied carpentry. In high school he worked at Columbia Bicycle, and later Westfield Wood Working, and Westfield Grinding Wheel.

While living in Jaffrey, he had been a long time employee with the Town of Jaffrey in the Parks and Commons and Maintenance divisions of the Public Works Department. Most recently, he had been employed by the Jaffrey-Rindge school district in the maintenance department. Alan loved the outdoors, spending time fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, walking through the woods with his dogs, riding snowmobiles, landscaping, and relaxing around the fire pit.

For the past thirteen years, Alan was married to Karen (Halligan) Morris. Previously, he had been married to Linda (Queipo) Burns of Westfield, MA, and to the late Jennifer (Lipp) Morris.
