I learned with great saddness of tMorris's passing. I knew Morris from Probus Club, he was a founding member, Mr. Probus, beloved and honored for his work and words of wisdom. He lived a life of dignity, hard work, service to his country, his town and the community. He is missed by all who had the priviledge to know him. May his memory always be a blessing.

My sincere condolences to John and Susan and the extended Gamm family. Morris was a unique person and an almost permanent presence of the greater New Haven Bar. He was my law partner for many years and I greatly respected his legal acumen and empathy with clients. May he rest in peace. Larry Liebman

We've known him for 5 generations. My grandmother was his first client. My dad (Julius F. Ardito Sr.) said he was like a son to him. He helped my Mom and Dad buy a house so the children (Betty, Peachie , Cookie (me) and Julius would have a home to live in during hard times with work so slow. He was like my grandpa with a big heart. May he always rest in peace.
