Maynard H. Morse

Age 79, passed away on Thursday, May 12, 2005 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. He was born in Hulbert, Michigan on November 8, 1925, son of the late Burton and Marie (Martin) Morse. After high school, he entered the United States Navy in 1943, and was honorably discharged in 1946. He was proud to have served as a member of the Navy, and had seen most of the world by the time he was twenty-one. His military service brought him membership in the Electric City Post #3319 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Following his Naval discharge, he returned to Michigan and married the former Doris Mero in 1949; she preceded him in death in 1982. For many years, Maynard was employed as a machinist at Badger Northland in Kaukauna. He will be remembered by many as an active softball player who played for countless area teams over the years, and also enjoyed fishing, boating, gardening, and spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by a daughter: Eva (Norbert) Fink of Appleton and their daughters Connie Fink and her fiance Daniel Bromwell and Christy Fink and her special friend Jack Wager-Smith; a son: Paul (Carol nee Meyer) Morse of Kaukauna and their daughters Jennifer, Amy, and Alisha Morse; a son: David Morse of Appleton and his daughter Jennifer Marie Gassner; a great-grandson: Hunter Bromwell; a twin brother: Gaylord Morse of Menasha. He was preceded in death by his parents, a son Jay in 1981, his wife in 1982, his special friend and fiancée for the past ten years Gloria Magolski in 2004, brothers Melvin Morse and Peter (Gladys) Morse, sisters Mary Lou (Elwood) Derouin and Jessilyn (Victor) Hanson, and a sister-in-law: Kathryn (nee Mero) Morse.
