He left the shipyard to join the US Navy serving 3 years in the Asiatic Pacific, American, and European African Theaters aboard the USS West Point during World War II. He was proud of his military service and especially enjoyed participating in the Marysville Veteran's Day Parade. After his service, Morrel's uncle, W.H. Darrough, convinced him to move to CA to start his career in heavy construction. He joined Operating Engineers Local 3 in 1951 and was very proud of the fact that he received his 65 year pin. He quickly learned to operate all forms of heavy construction equipment, eventually working his way up to Project Superintendent. He worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline where often a helicopter was used to get him in to the various job sites. Another job took him to AZ to work in the Spook Hill Flood Control Dam in Mesa, AZ. Other jobs, include Bullards Bar Dam, Little Grass Valley Dam, Hidden Valley Dam and many roadways throughout CA. Morrel met and married Bettie Mae Luttrell in January 1951. They moved to Sutter, CA and raised three children.

He is survived by his sister, daughter and son Don Darrough. Grandkids and great grandkids. Morrel rests in peace and is reunited with his parents, his wife Bettie and his daughter Brenda.
