I am VERY sad to say that Peter Morrison has passed away.
I know many people here and on other site owe much of what they know about flyfishing to him. Peter was a GREAT man that was generous to a fault. He was the rep for Sage/Reddington/RIO/Islander/Dr Slick/Renzetti/Bradly Smokers plus a few more.
Peter will be Missed greatly.
Tight lines my Friend, hope that you will always be fishing wherever you may be.
RIP Peter Morrison

Peter and I have been very close friends for over 30 years...
I am still in shock with the news.....
You will never meet a more sincere person than Peter Morrison.
I will miss him everyday I am on the water or in the bush....
RIP my friend.

Our paths crossed only once, at a Tradex show a few years ago. I asked him a question about the difference between two (to me) very similar Sage rods. He enthusiastically proceeded to explain the difference in rod "speed" and how it matches individual casting styles. He showed genuine interest in helping me understand.
May he rest in peace.

Sad news for sure, too young to go :(

It is written: only the good die young.. I did not know Peter, only at arm's length when he visited Oscar's in his 'rep' capacity. Those of you who knew him best can only verify what I learned: a good dude. KD.

This is a real shock, I spent 2 weeks with Peter last fall & what a great guy.
I knew him through leader sales & then became friends.
The stories & peters passion for the outdoors will always be remembered.
RIP Peter Morrison.

Peter was the life of the party, and he knew how to work and play hard. I knew him for 36 years and we shared many fishing trips and even more life experiences. He was strong and determined, while also caring and sensitive. A great friend, he will be truly missed. I have a few old pictures of Peter hunting and fishing in the 1970's if anyone is interested I'd be happy to send them along.
His memorial will take place as follows;
Saturday November 23, 2013
The Celebration of Life and Reception will be held at the Matsqui Community Hall.
33676A St Olaf Ave, Abbotsford, BC
The Celebration of Life starts at 1pm with the Reception to follow until 5pm.
