Obituary of Theodore Morris

Theodore Morris "Ted", was born February 22, 1948 in Kingstree, South Carolina to Mattie Morris-Alston and the late Felder Graham. He was attended and graduated from the Saint Mark School of Andrews, South Carolina. Ted accepted Christ at an early age. In 1965 he moved to Rochester, New York. He was not a lazy man often working several jobs at a time. His many jobs were Eastman Kodak, Rochester Products, and he spent several years with the City of Rochester. Most recently Ted was employed with Hertz Car Rental where he remained until his health began to fail. Ted fellowshipped at the Mt. Zion Progressive Missionary Baptist Church. He spoke of how he enjoyed the many talks and prayers with Rev. Hunter and other members. He was a very outgoing person. Even when his health was at its worst Ted still had a joke or would say something to make you laugh. He often gave words of wisdom. If you listened you would never forget them. On November 21, 2007 the battle was over and the victory was won.
