THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2017
‘What are your plans for Super Bowl Sunday?’
“There’s a
family birthday
party. I’m sure
we’ll watch it
there.”
“I’m not a huge
game fan. I’ll tune
in for a few com-
mercials. I can take
or leave the game.
I’ll read a good book.”
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Carol Atwood, Astoria
Amy Koch, Warrenton
“Probably kick back and eat a lot
of food and watch a lot of football.
I want to especially see the half-
time show with Lady Gaga. The
commercials are good, too — more
entertaining, sometimes, than the game.”
Debby Wolf, Astoria

Albert “Al” Engene Morris, 88, died Jan.
11, 2017, at his home in Astoria, Oregon.
Al was born on Sept. 5, 1928, in Pekin,
Illinois, to Harry and Virginia Morris. At age
17 he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. By
1948, he was stationed in Astoria, where he
met his future wife Maryann “Trudy” Glaser.
They married on Jan. 16, 1950.
After 20 years, he retired from the Coast
Guard. He worked for a brief period of time
at Barbey Cannery, and then went to work
for Fred Devine Diving and Salvage aboard
the Salvage Chief. He retired after 18 years
and went to work with Campbell Towing for
the next 10 years.
He was preceded in death by his wife,
Trudy Morris, in 2013.
Al is survived by sons Michael (and Jill)
