Morley was a proud Lion’s member with Elmvale and Coldwater Clubs. He was a very active Lion member for so many years that he was awarded the Life Membership from International Lions. It gave him great pleasure to be elected as the A12 District Governor. He performed his governor duties with joyful diligence. He was honoured and respected by his fellow Lions members and recognized by being awarded Lion of the Year for 1984-1985 and again in 1986-1987.

A celebration of Morley’s life will be held at the Elmvale Lions Hall, 1979 Flos Road 7 W, Elmvale on Sunday April 30, 2023 from 1-4pm.  The Lions will honour Morley with a Lions service at 2pm.
