Daddy I always think of you this time of year as it is when we lost you. Shaun and Kara will be married 22 years on Oct. 20th. I wish you could have known your 3 great granddaughters. Mike and Donna are such good parents. We finally got our girls and they are all beautiful and kind. I miss you and Mom every day and want to thank you for giving us a great childhood . We are all still so close and that is because of all the love you gave us. Larry & I will be married 50 years in November but we still remember the beautiful wedding you gave us. Love you, miss you, and as life passes we know we will see you soon. Patsybons

Hi Papa, it´s been a long time. Still miss you. I know you´re in heaven and happy knowing the Red Sox finally won a World Series. I remember sitting with you in the family room and retelling you what the announcers said. I miss you and hope you´re in a better place. I love you.

What can I say? I just heard the news of my good and dear friend Mr. Morse. I write this with tears in my eyes and with such a heavy heart. I have known Mr. Morse for 57 yrs and he was always a handsome, kind, gentle, loving, gentlemen. Mr. Morse always had a kind word and a hug for me. Mr. Morse always told me don't worry kid, you'll be okay. Mr. Morse the Chief of the Boston Fire Dept. was always thinking and doing for others dedicating his life to saving other's. Mr. Morse loved us all and oh how we all loved him. Mary, Paul, Patsy & Larry, Danny & Melissa, David & Karen, Dennis & Robin I am so so sorry for your loss. If only I had known I could have been there for you all. I hope the memories you all have in your heart give you peace and comfort in the days ahead. I know I will cherish my memories. Mr. Morse although you are gone you will never be forgotten. Mr. Morse you are now with your son Michael in heaven and will become our Guardian Angels. I am so so sorry for your loss. God Bless You All. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I Love You All!

Mrs. Morse, Paul, Patsy and Family

I was so saddened to see the loss of your husband and father - he was always such a good man. My husband George (Buddy) passed away 4 years ago after a long illness - but one of his fondest memories was with time spent with your wonderful family... as you treated him as one of your own. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.

Most Fondly!

Mr. Morse,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Boston when you served with the BFD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
