John P. Morley

Born on August 31, 1923 in Malden, MA, he was the son of Daniel and Bridget (O'Connor) Morley. He was a graduate of Malden Catholic School and during World War II, served in the US Army.

Upon returning from World War II he was employed at Unisys. While at Unisys he was at the forefront of the evolution of today's modern computing systems. His understanding of computers in those early days was astounding.

John loved to watch sports on tv, especially football, baseball and golf. He was an avid reader and enjoyed keeping active and fit. He was a "jack of all trades", enjoyed tinkering on all types of projects around the house and fixing his cars. Whether it be a construction project or repairing an electrical device, there was nothing that he couldn't fix. More so, he will be remembered as a loving father and grandfather.

He was predeceased by his loving wife Dorothy F. (Murphy) Morley, in 1999.
