Morey was the first to welcome me when I moved into the Fauntleroy neighborhood in the early 70s. He really made me feel at home. I enjoyed visiting with Morey over the years and hearing all of his wonderful stories. Morey brought the whole neighborhood together like one large family. I really miss sitting with Morey looking out over the ferry dock and enjoying his companionship.
