Wallace Morin

Wallace had one son born to his first wife while he served overseas during WWII. After returning home to New Jersey he married Arlene, with whom he had six more children, all daughters. He and Arlene bought a modest 2 bedroom / 1 bath Cape Cod style home in Hawthorne, NJ where they raised all 6 daughters (converting part of the upstairs/attic into an additional large bedroom) and where he lived until his death. Occupationally, Wallace followed in his father's footsteps. His father was a sawyer and Wallace worked in a saw mill for most of his working life and was blessed to live to see several grandchildren born during his lifetime though many more grandchildren were born after his death. His oldest grandchildren remember fondly "Grandpa Morin" who used to say after sitting down and closing his eyes after a long, hard day of working "I'm not sleeping, I'm just resting my eyes."
