True gentleman

I was saddened to hear that Chief J.J. Morrison handed in his resignation yesterday to the Spring Hill Fire Commissioners. I suppose that this was his only option after the Spring Hill Fire Commissioners refused to renew his contract several weeks ago because of his prolonged health issues. While there is no one to blame for this resignation, it should be noted that it only brings a sense of saddness to the community.

J.J. Morrison served the community of Spring Hill Fire District for 22 years, with honor, as a firefighter before being promoted to chief in 2002. As chief, J.J. Morrison always represented Spring Hill residents with the genteel manners of a true gentleman. Thanks, J.J. for your dedication to this county. We will miss you!
