In Loving Memory of
Dr. F. D. Morse, Jr.
MORSE, Jr., DR. F.D., age 78 of Pearisburg, VA died
Wednesday, August 23, 2006, at his home in Tobaccoville, NC from metastatic
cancer that had spread to the liver and abdominal wall.
He had cared for a full schedule of patients in his
Virginia
dental practice ten days prior to his death, five days prior to his
diagnosis. He was called of God
to follow Jesus and thus was always prepared for death, as noted on his
tombstone. He is survived by his
beloved wife, Patsy A. Morse of Pearisburg, His daughter Pam Guy and her
husband John Guy and their son Patrick Morse Guy of the home, his firstborn
son Fortis Davis Morse and his wife Nancy Zink, MD of
Portland
,
OR
. He was predeceased by his
parents, Ida Davis Morse and Frank D. Morse of Glen Lyn, VA.
Dr. Morse was highly esteemed by family, friends, and the patients he
treated with a friendly, down-home manner that demonstrated his sincere
interest in them as people as well as patients.
His daughter often felt that his waiting room was more like a
gathering at a General Store, as folks would stop to talk even if they
didn’t have appointments. He
is already sorely missed. Funeral
services will be conducted at the Givens Funeral Chapel in Pearisburg
Sunday, August, 27, 2006 at 5:00pm with Bobby Slyvia and Franklin Zimmerman
officiating with the eulogy being read by John Guy.
Burial will follow in the
Birchlawn
Burial
Park
in Pearisburg. The family will
receive friends at the Givens Funeral Home Saturday evening from 5 – 8 pm.
