COEUR d’ALENE, Idaho – Coeur d’Alene Cider Company issued a statement honoring the memory of John Morrison, who was one of the firefighters killed in the ambush on Canfield Mountain and was the husband of Jill Morsion, the shop’s owner.
They wrote:
“You might’ve met him over the years, the tall guy with the mustache who’d step in behind the bar now and then, always ready with a smile, and chatting up everyone who came through our doors.
John wasn’t just part of our lives, he helped build this place, literally. The bar you sit at, he built it. The patio out back where you sip in the sun, he built that too. The tables you gather around with friends are his work. His fingerprints are everywhere, and his absence will be greatly missed.
We want to thank the community, friends, and family for your support.
Your love and kindness means more than you know.
We’ll be back open today. Please be extra kind and patient with the staff this weekend. We’re all carrying heavy hearts, but we’re holding each other up the best we can. Come by, share a cider and say hi, we’d love to see you.”
The comments section on their post filled with people sharing memories of John Morrison and sympathies.
