An amazing man with an amazing heart and with lifetimes of experiences to share. It was always a treat to hear Morris talk about parts of his life. I cannot express, in words, the level of love and respect I have for this man... I've missed him so much and will talk of him throughout the remainder of my life. Morris was truly an inspiration and someone who has touched everyone's lives who knew him.
Thank you, God, for allowing me the honor of knowing this man and the blessing of him in my life. I pray for Morris, "Oh child of Isreal, you truly are the apple of God's eye... I pray blessings upon your family and peace."
