George L. Morrissiey, age 73 of West Grove, PA, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, October 22, 2021.
He was the husband of Jane Needham Morrissiey, with whom he shared a wonderful 23 years of marriage.
Born on October 20, 1948 in West Chester, PA, George was the son of the late George R. Morrissiey and the late Mary Maynes Morrissiey.
George was a graduate of Kennett High School, class of 1966. Following his high school graduation, George followed his father into the mushroom industry until he moved to Florida where he worked to build the infrastructure that would later become Disney World.
While in Florida, George found a passion for bodybuilding where he won numerous competitions up and down the east coast. George also loved organizing Bodybuilding competitions as well as car shows. George liked old cars and hotrods and enjoyed driving his classics in parades and participating in car shows.
In 1996, George moved back to Pennsylvania and found his calling as a Pennsylvania State Constable. George enjoyed his job and meeting all kinds of interesting people.
George and Jane owned the Corner Caf in Jennersville from 2008 to 2019 where you would find him enjoying a cup of coffee and good conversation.
George had a great sense of humor and always had a joke (good or bad) or story to tell. He had an infectious laugh that would fill the room.
