After the death of his wife in 2018 he lived with his son and family in Ireland.[ Morris died in Naas, County Kildare, on 19 April 2026, at the age of 98.
We all know Morris the sociobiologist. his '-watching' series is fascinating. So what happens when a scientist delves into fiction? Magic, that is what happens. I've read it as a schoolboy, and I'll happily re-read it - several times - as a middle-aged man.
