Box 536, Hartsville, SC 29550. Mr. Morrison was born in Hartsville, SC, on August 20, 1930. He was the son of the late Edward Preston Morrison and Bessie Alene Hall Morrison. He was a lifelong and very active member of Prospect United Methodist Church, where he contributed financially to the betterment of the church and also contributed many hours of physical labor. He was a workhorse for the church in those days, and he poured his heart, sweat, and love into that church. He attended Spartanburg Methodist College and then served two years in the United States Army stationed in Panama to provide security for the Panama Canal; there, he liked being on the Elite Rifle Drill Team. Following his military service, he happily returned home, joining his parents and two brothers to operate the family farm at Lake Robinson, his favorite place. His farming was successful, and he was recognized by the Chesterfield County Agriculture Department for his outstanding farming and water/soil conservation. He liked hunting, fishing trips, and family/friends gatherings at the lake for cookouts and skiing. In his last years, in poor health, he liked doing word puzzles, old movies, sports and family visits. He especially enjoyed the brief time living at The Legacy, where he made friends, went places, did activities, played, and won lots of Bingo games. Brook's happy nature, knowledge, and sweet personality will be missed by his sister, Willene, and eight nieces and nephews, whom he much admired and loved. Also, there are several great nephews and great nieces whom he never met. He is survived by his sister, Margie Willene Gardner of Rock Hill, SC; nephews and nieces, Randy (Debra) Morrison, Roger (Brenda) Morrison, Tim (Denise) Morrison, Dicky Morrison, Brenda (Edd) Perdue, Sandra (Mike) Upchurch, and Debbie Spears. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Dr. M. Leroy (Peggy) Morrison of Pageland, SC, Howard E. Morrison of Hartsville, SC, Edward H. (Mary) Morrison of Monroe, GA, Bruce H. (Betty Jean) Morrison of Charlotte, NC, Lloyd Fritz Morrison of Hartsville, SC; sister, Bette R. (Edward) Lysz of Hartsville, SC.
