Morrison was a rookie lifeguard in 1979, and he quickly became one of the

With the help of his singles rowing, the OCBP won every intercity
competition during the summer of 1984 — the South Jerseys, Margate Memorials,
Dutch Hoffmans in Wildwood, the Cape May County title and the Around-the-Island
Row.
He was inducted into the OCBP Hall of Fame in 1995.
Morrison, a pilot with Delta Air Lines, died of heart failure while on a
layover in London, according to family members.
He lived in Lansdale, Pa., and is survived by his wife, Peg; son, Jeffrey;
daughter, Kristen; sister, Suzanne Monihan; and father, Tom Morrison Sr.
