I've heard so very much about Morty from years ago from my Larry. Over the past 15 years, I have been able to see for my self all that I've been told about the Mensch Morty was. So very kind and thoughtful. My family will very much miss the tradition we have created of having Morty with us at Jewish Holiday dinners. My sincere condolences to your families on the loss of this very special man.
