I was thinking of him today. I didn't even realize he had passed away. I loved Arnold. He trained me on the knives and was awesome to work with! Sad to hear of his passing.

Hard to believe it's been a year since Arnold's passing -- what a fine man! And a sense of humor and timing second to none. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

So sorry to hear of cousin Arnold's passing. Last time I saw him was at my grandmother Edith Morris's funeral. I played with cousins Garrett and Leslie.
My dad was Archie Morris.

Arnold was the most amazing man to his family, friends and everybody he came into contact with. He was good hearted, loyal, trustworthy, helpful generous person and never judged anyone. He always made you smile. My daughters and I will miss him very much. We will miss his beautiful blue eyes and his nice smile. Phyllis, Stacey, Leslie, Jeff and Lisa were very fortunate to have him as a husband and father. He was a really wonderful pop pop and all his grandchildren loved him very much. We will never forget this wonderful man who touched all of our lives. Love you Arnold

So very sorry to hear of Arnold's passing. I did not know until I just read it. I knew Arnold so many years ago and we had so many laughs together. From all I see and from what he said to me the time I spoke to him on the phone he was so lucky to have you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember seeing him at the Chicago auto show when I was in my late teens. Twenty-six years later, I'm reading "What The Dog Saw" by Malcolm Gladwell where he writes about a man named Arnold Morris and goes into a dialogue of his sales speech. I think, "Wow, I bet that's the same guy I was fascinated by all those years ago. So funny, warm, and personable. I pictured him as a grandfather that I wish I had. I googled Arnold Morris and it was bittersweet to know that yes, it was the same lovable man that I remembered so fondly of all those years ago. However, he had just past away 19 days ago. I did not know him personally, but he made enough of an impression on me that I never forgot him. He will truly be missed, my heart goes out to his family and friends.

I deeply regret never having the opportunity to get to know my third cousin Arnold better, however, I heard so many wonderful stories from my Grandmother, that I felt his legendary presence throughout my life. I know he was a truly inspirational and amazing man, who is dearly beloved and will be remembered for all of time. I am very sorry for your loss and send my love.

I have wonderful memories of my Uncle Arnold when I was a little girl. He welcomed me and played with me. He held me on his shoulders and was just as loving as anyone could be. I've never forgotten. My prayers go out to you all. I hope he and my dad are having a good time together.
Love,
