Louis “Lou” Field Morris, age 64 of Warwick, MD passed away Tuesday, July 12, 2016. Born January 17, 1952 in Washington, DC, Lou was the son of Robert Langley Morris and the late, Hattie Mae Morris (Leonard). Lou grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he attended Bohemia Manor High School and often worked at Woodstock Farm.
After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1974, Lou devoted 26 years of distinguished service to his country, becoming a decorated Naval Aviator with an avid love of flying. Lou deployed numerous times to places around the globe and amassed over 2500 hours piloting H-53 helicopters in a career highlighted by command of the Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron Fourteen “Vanguard.” Lou went on to lead various programs for his helicopter community at the Naval Headquarters. After retiring from the Navy, Lou served as Executive Director for Fair Hill International for three years before continuing to support his former Navy community at civilian contractor organizations.
Lou blessed his family and friends with an effervescent outlook on life; and, he loved his toys and tech gadgets, too. When he wasn’t working, Lou took charge of “Fun Central,” either socializing not far from the Chesapeake City Turning Basin, volunteering at equestrian events, riding his Gold Wing, grooming the Pony Club with Johnny Buckets, cruising the C&D canal in his Sea Ray, or flying the friendly skies of “MorrisAire.” To have known Lou is to own a treasurable memory.
Lou is survived by his wife, Diane Trefry; three children: Jeffrey Morris, Matthew Morris, Kelly Morris, and her spouse, Tracy Mullins; along with the mother of his children, Karen Morris; sisters: Cathie Morris and Susan Morris; brothers: Thomas Morris and Timothy Morris; father, Robert L. Morris; and several extended family members. Including his mother, Lou was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Allen Morris.
A Visitation will be held on Sunday, July 17, 2016 from 6-8 PM at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, 259 East Main Street, Elkton, MD. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, July 18, 2016 at 11 AM at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church, 371 East Main Street, Middletown, DE, where family and friends may visit beginning at 10AM. Burial will follow the service at Saint Augustine Cemetery, Chesapeake City, MD. In lieu of flowers, please consider contributing to “Paws for Life” or the “National Autism Association” via the funeral home.

My sincere sympathies to the family. I had the honor to know and work with Lou over many years and issues in the Mine Warfare Community. We were colleagues and sometimes co-conspirators. He was always the professional, loaded with concern for his sailors and the mission. He was blessed with a sense of humor to take himself and others through some rough 'seas'. I last had the pleasure of watching his command during the Blue Harrier 93 prove the USN superiority in Mine CounterMeasures for that time in history. The family can be proud knowing those with whom he served held Lou in high regard and great respect.

Lou touched a great many lives when he was here in Mobile AL helping us set up the CSC office after the JHSV contract was awarded in March 2012. He was a wonderful, resourceful, clever, warm-hearted person who will be greatly missed. I remember that on the Kentucky Derby of that year (2012) he and I were at the office with the movers setting up all of the desks and chairs all throughout the office and there began my love of the Kentucky Derby. Every year since, I've always touched base with him during the holidays, his birthday, and especially on the first Saturday in May for the Kentucky Derby. How sad am I that this past year was the last Kentucky Derby we will ever get to speak. Sending thoughts and prayers to all of his extended family members with love. Alice Adler

I was a young naval officer serving at HelSeaConWingONE when Lou was a new helo pilot within the H53 community.

It was an exciting time for Airborne Mine Countermeasures and I remember that all three Sea Stallion squadrons were full of dedicated, energetic and courageous pilots.

What a heartbreaking tragedy for all who knew and loved you. Heaven gained an incredible addition without a doubt. You always had a way of making everything positive and making everyone so happy. You will be dearly missed and there is certainly an empty space in my heart as well as many others.
