In our association with Morris we found him to be a very special man, tough when needed, tender at heart always. His love of family, devotion to the Savior and his determination to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ were fine examples. His smile and laughter lighted up the world. He will be missed but he surely did "fight the good fight with honor and dignity".

A truly special person has passed to the next life. Morris was always a pleasure to be around and it was so very obvious how much he loved his family. He was always very kind and a true gentleman. He will surely be missed by many.
