James E. Morrison Jr., 82

James Edward Morrison Jr., of Moultonborough, (formerly Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area) born on Oct. 25, 1941, passed away peacefully on Oct. 11, 2024. A proud graduate of William Penn Charter School (1960) and the University of Notre Dame (1964), Jim exemplified the spirit of hard work and dedication throughout his life. An avid fan of both Notre Dame and the Philadelphia Phillies, he carried his passion for sports with him in all aspects of his life.

In 1968, Jim co-founded Gold Medal Sporting Goods, and worked as a passionate sporting goods salesperson for an impressive 48 years. His commitment to the industry and his clients earned him the respect and admiration of many.

Jim is survived by his beloved wife, Penny (Grelis); his son, Tim, and daughter-in-law, Kathy; and his cherished grandchildren, Elizabeth, and Tommy. He was a devoted family man whose love and guidance will forever resonate in their lives.

Jim will be deeply missed but fondly remembered for his warmth, generosity, and unwavering spirit.

A private celebration of Jim’s life will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his honor to Penn Charter, 3000 W. School House Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19144; the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, or a school of your choice supporting students in need of higher education.
