John “Johnny” S. Morse, age 77 of Geneva, passed February 6, 2023 in Lake County. Born on May 10, 1945 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, he was the son of David & Elizabeth (Van De Boe) Morse and was a Geneva resident most of his life. He married Anna M. Martello on September 19, 1970 in Ashtabula, Ohio.

Johnny served in the US Army as a Mechanic. After his service to his country, he used his mechanical skills and operated his own business, “Johnny’s Texaco” and “Johnny’s Service Center” as well as worked at Geneva Pipeline. In his free time some of the many things he enjoyed was racing Dune Buggies, Nascar, small engine repair, yard work, camping, watching Cleveland Sports (Browns, Indians & Cavaliers) and the Ohio State Buckeyes. Johnny was known as a kind hearted & friendly person. Many days he could be seen sitting on his porch waving to people passing by. His greatest joy though was time spent with his family.

    I was one of John's aides at Rae Ann. I only knew him for a short time, but from the moment I met him, I knew he was someone who's personality would stick with me forever. He was sweet, loving, and had a huge heart. Despite whatever was going on with him, he always cared more about those around him. He was forever smiling and happy to see everyone. He was the first person I'd go see on my shift and the last I'd visit before I leave, even if I wasn't assigned to his wing. He was a joy to be around and he will be sorely missed. <3

    I was a classmate of Johnny - always remembered him as a nice guy. I saw him many times sitting on his porch waving to those he knew. It will be sad not seeing him there. Condolences to the family.
