Born February 7, 1940 in Boyce, Louisiana, Pete was the son of Darrell B. and Helen O. Ball Morse. He married Judy Ann Osborne on January 27, 1964 in Quincy. She survives.
Mr. Morse served his country in the U. S. Navy during the Vietnam War from 1960 to 1967. He was a member of the Quincy American Legion Post #37 and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter #488. Pete's one and only passion was flying airplanes. He especially loved to take his grand babies for airplane rides. The name of his last plane that he flew with Charlie Cowan was called "Little Rebel", but his wife called it his mistress. When Pete became a double amputee, he still was able to fly with the use of special built hand controls in the "Little Rebel". He also loved his three cats Mojo, Dic Dic and Miss Calley and in turn was dearly loved by them. David lived his life with great courage, never complaining when he became disabled, but was always cheerful with a never ending smile on his face.
Mr. Morse was first employed as a truck driver for Wilcox Mail in West Memphis, AR and later as a truck driver for Holiday Inns in West Memphis, AR.for over 10 years. He and his wife Judy moved to Quincy in 1982 and in his semi retirement he drove for Diamond Cab Company in Quincy.
