Dedication

Michael Morrisey’s first love was always farming. We had to sell the milk cows in the Spring of 1999 due to heart problems. We continued on with beef cattle even after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in August 2002. He passed away on December 6, 2003 still talking and thinking of his beloved farming. His gravesite at Calvary cemetery in Canandaigua is marked with a monument representing the 61 years he spent on Hopkins Road farming. I invite those of you who knew him well to visit the site and say a prayer for all who struggle with cancer. He had such great memories of Bloomfield and the friendships he shared with you over the years. He loved telling stories of the “Happy Days” era. Michael’s other love was hunting and wildlife.
