Obituary for
Morgan John Griffith
Morgan John Griffith was born in Yorkton, SK, on September 25, 1943, to Amos and Aggie Griffith. He attended Luton School, then Bangor until 1959, when he quit to farm full time with his father. He had wanted to farm since he was five, and he kept farming until he retired in 2014, seeing the farm through its hundred years as a family farm in 2013. Morgan married Susan in 1984 “after breaking his hip and being unable to run away”. He enjoyed being a “sorta normal” son-in-law. Together they raised two children, Kari and Lindsay, of whom he was exceedingly proud and took credit for their good genes. Morgan achieved a dream when he and Susan went to Wales in 2012 with Iowa cousins and saw the old family farms. He loved his family and his friends. He enjoyed teasing, visiting, music, watching news and politics, John Deere tractors, learning about farm equipment and attending heritage days activities, and talking on the phone for hours (even to complete strangers!). Faith, family, friends, farming and fun meant everything to him. Morgan’s health began to fail in the summer of 2015, and he passed away quickly and painlessly in the hospital on Saturday, November 14, with his wife at his side.
Morgan is survived by his wife Susan, daughters Kari (Mike) Orosz and Lindsay, granddaughter Gwyneth Orosz, brother Lloyd (Pam) Griffith, sisters Donna (Brian) Roebuck and Gloria (Kal) Rathgeber, mother-in-law Aileen Jamieson, brothers-in-law Bill (Sharon) Jamieson and Scott (Cindy) Jamieson, sister-in-law Jean (Bent) Nielsen, aunt Marion (Ken) Dunn, many cousins, nieces, and nephews. He will be often quoted, missed by many, and remembered with love and laughter.
