Morris is a great friend of mine. Lots of laughs and good times together (glass onion, concerts, francois, south haven, your house in kzoo)! Morris was always so generous and would give you valuable advice when you needed it. I'll never forget him or his awesome laugh! I can totally hear it.. I am so glad to have known him. Rest in peace Morris.

To Morris,

My buddy, my friend, my brother. The last time we talked, the last words you said to me were "I love you" and I am so happy I said them back.

I just found out you've left us. And I died a little today.

Dear Morris,

I will always remember my childhood summers in South Haven. They taste like Sherman's Dairy Blue Moon ice cream. They are filled with your unforgettable laugh and my mom's smile. She loved being around you. We all did.

I remember when you taught me how to shoot a BB gun and made me promise not to shoot my brother, which to this day I think you regret. I remember peeing in the hot tub when Eileen fell through the screen door. And I remember crashing your Sea-Doo in the middle of Lake Michigan. I have to reaffirm my innocence; the accident truly was Rory's fault.

Those were the best summers of my life and you were an amazing friend. I promise to tell the stories as often as possible and to always remember that life is best lived when it is spent with people like you.

I love you Morris,
Bryan

You have been a part of my family's life since I can remember and though the years took us apart as I grew into an adult and started my own family, you and your family (your mom, dad and Susan) were always close to my heart for the great memories and your generous spirits. My mom said it right, the Brewington family will miss you.
