Mr. Morrissey,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for you years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USAF during the Korean War and secondly for the citizens of Cambridge when you served with the CFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Margaret: I was so sad to hear of the passing of your dad, I know how close your family is. I know your dad was ill for quite some time, but somehow it doesn't make it any easier. I hope that you can keep his memory alive through all the happy times you've shared and I am sure there were many. I am so happy that he got to meet and see your twins and be a part of their lives. You are blessed with many memories and a loving family. May God bless you and keep you and your family in his arms through this most difficult time. My prayers are with you all.

To Shirley and family. When we
received notifcation of Bob's passing, we were saddened. Please find peace in his death because he suffered so long. He finally answered the last alarm,. So many of the brothers are waiting for him to arrive in heaven. Bob was a great man and deserves his reward from our Lord. He achieved many rewards from those he helped to save. Please keep up your strength with the help of our Lord. He is now in heaven where there is no pain.
