Louise and family,
We were sorry to hear of the passing of Morrie. I remember having Morrie as a patient (60’s) at St. Mary’s Hospital. His kindness, smile, and humor remain embedded in my memory. The real pearl was added when Orlin and I met you at Ann”s Cafe for Friday breakfast. Let the memories of Morrie carry you through the days ahead. In our prayers
Louise and family. What can we say, our hearts are heavy. So many wonderful memories of this great gentle guy. What a marvelous friend to my parents, a great salesman, always a smile and a laugh. I remember the trips to Selma and other places for sales meetings–the first time we had CB’s and called to each other all the way down! One last “breaker breaker from the Fxy Lady and Bush Pig!”
Love you guys
