Morrill, Christopher Ellis
, age 57, a long time Millis resident, died on Thursday afternoon, November 5, 2009, at home with family by his side.
Born, raised, and educated in Framingham, he was a son of the late Thomas H. and Ellen J. (Powers) Morrill. He worked as a teen at the Zayre’s warehouse in Natick. His involvement with computer operations at the warehouse grew into an interest which he pursued in programming. Chris stayed with the company through its transition to TJX and was currently employed as a Senior Programming Analyst.
Chris was a fly fishing enthusiast and could often be found along the Swift River in western Massachusetts. Two years ago he realized a long time dream by traveling to Montana to enjoy the sport. Another favorite pastime was caring for his sports car and Chris was an avid fan of the New England Patriots.
He is survived by two brothers, Thomas H. Morrill, Jr. and his wife Anne of Framingham and Peter E. Morrill and his wife Priscilla of New Lebanon, NY; a sister, Suellen Coito and her husband A. Michael of Sarasota, FL; his nieces and nephews, Suellen, Lisa, Michael, Benjamin, and Anne; their children, Matthew, Ashley, Anthony, and Aidan; and his former wife and dear friend, Leslie Lambert.
Visiting hours will be at the Roberts-Mitchell Funeral Home, 90 Curve Street, Millis, Sunday, Nov. 8th from 5 – 8p.m. His funeral service and burial will be private.
Donations may be made in Chris’ memory to VNA Care Hospice, 120 Thomas St., Worcester, MA 01608-1280.

| Chris was a coworker and friend, taken much too soon from this world. I'll always remember his wry sense of humor, and his love of music, guitars and fast cars. Chris had the determination to fight to live life for such a long time and succeeded for so long - his spirit and his memory are an inspiration to those of us who were lucky enough to know him. His great courage in the face of such adversity will not be forgotten. |

| Chris was a coworker and friend. I loved talking music with him and am happy to have the chance to have sat and jammed with him. I have passed his empty desk for too long. He will be missed. Rock on Chris.... |

| It was a privilege to have known Chris, with whom I worked for many years. It was he who welcomed me with glee to my new corner near him in the office when I joined a new programming group, because he knew we shared common interests in music, guitar playing and things with wheels: cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Lots of good conversation and storytelling ensued. When his health failed him, he showed us all how to bear up and persevere. He's gone too soon and missed already. I express my condolences to his family. |
