Our beloved John (Jack) Edward Morrissey entered into God’s Kingdom at home surrounded by his loving family on February 22, 2023 after a long battle with asbestosis.

Jack was born to Rosa (Merrow) Morrissey and Lawrence Morrissey in May of 1943 in Lewiston, Maine. Jack graduated from Edward Little High School in 1961. After graduating, he pursued a career in the insulation industry which would become his lifelong career. He worked for Buerhaus Insulation Company in Auburn Maine for 17 years as an insulation mechanic, estimator, superintendent, and eventually VP of Commercial Contracting. He went on to form Morrissey Asbestos Abatement Co. (MAAC) and Damon Insulation Company in 1985 with his long term business partner and close friend, Carl Damon. He would build those businesses over the next 15 years, be fortunate to sell them in 2000, and retire by the age of 57. Keep reading
