World Famous Morris's Grill

A huge thanks to Pamela Lynn Cartner and her unknown friend for posting this on Facebook. What a wonderful Christmas present this would be to all of us!!!!

We all have Christmas celebrations we will never forget.

Yes it’s true that we all have fond memories of past Christmas celebrations, but none are so memorable as those that we all shared together at World Famous Morris’s Grill for the three decades that it existed.

I was reminded of these joyous occasions earlier this week when Mary Jayne Lipe posted the following photo of a time honored tradition on her Facebook account with the caption that follows.

Many, many thanks to the Skaneateles Village worker elves who perpetuate the legend by returning the colored Christmas lights on the pole in front of what was Morris’s Grill in the all white light Village. Burt would be soooo pleased. Merry, Merry Christmas!

It’s such a pleasure to see the village perpetuating this time honored tradition that was carried on for so many years by Burt Lipe, the proprietor of the World Famous Morris’s Grill. Both the historical establishment and Burt are now gone but will never be forgotten and they will live on in our memories for many years to come.

Thank you Burt for making all of these wonderful memories possible and for providing us with the greatest watering hole the village of Skaneateles has ever known. A historical landmark where we all gathered together for so many years to share common interests, where everyone was equal regardless of social class.

We will never forget you Burt, or the wonderful memories we shared in the establishment you so proudly called your joint. May you rest in peace eternally with our Heavenly Father above and watch over us until the day that we may all be together again to share our endless memories of the World Famous Morris’s Grill.

In memory of a great friend, father, husband, proprietor, etc., a man who did so much for so many and asked for very little in return. Take care and God Bless.

Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year’s celebration! Hope you get to spend time with your loved ones during this joyous season. And don’t forget to give thanks to those that made it all possible, the Lord Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father. May we all live long, fruitful, and prosperous lives, in Jesus’ name AMEN.
