Vincent C. Morris, 43
SEAFORD - Vincent C. Morris of Seaford passed away Monday, Nov. 26, 2007, after a long and courageous battle with lymphoma. He was 43.
Vince was born Oct. 18, 1964, in Reading, Pa., and graduated from East Stroudsburg University in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in health and physical education and was a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve.
In 1990, he married the former Jackie Rulon of Holiand, Pa.
The couple moved to Seaford in 1992 when Vince took a job teaching health and physical education in the Seaford Middle School.
He was the cross country coach at Seaford High School from 1992-2007 and was voted state of Delaware Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year in 2000, when his girls team won the Division II state championship.
Vince was also the winner of numerous Henlopen Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year awards.
He coached boys track and field from 1997-2005 and also coached several seasons of junior varsity basketball.
In 2002, he received his master's in sports management from the U.S. Sports Academy in Daphne, Ala.
In 1999, in addition to his teaching and coaching duties, Vince took on the additional job of director of athletics for the Seaford School District.
In 2003, he left the classroom to become full time director of athletics and remained so until his death.
Vince's commitment to athletics continued at the state level where he served on various committees as a member of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association.
In addition, this year he was serving as the president of the board of directors for the Henlopen Conference.
Vince was a mentor and an inspiration to the many cross country and track and field athletes he coached, as well as to his colleagues and friends.
Vince is survived by his wife of 17 years, Jackie Morris; his mother, Agnes Culpepper; his sister, Vicky Harper; his brothers, David Morris and Robert Morris; and 10 nieces and nephews.
A memorial celebration of the life of Vince Morris will be 11 a.m. Saturday at Seaford Senior High School in the Madden Auditorium.
Parking will be available at the high school, middle school and Central Elementary School, and also where available on the street.
A reception will be after the program in the SHS cafeteria.
The Morris family requests that instead of flowers, a donation be made to the local chapters of the Leukemia Society or the Western Sussex Relay for Life/American Cancer Society.
Arrangements by Cranston Funeral Home, Seaford.
