To Naomi and Family: Morris was a classmate of mine at Frostproof High School and we graduated together in 1955. I remember him as the tallest guy in the class -- and always a sweet, easy to get along with kind of classmate. I really enjoyed seeing the both of you at our later reunions down in Frostproof. My Dad, Ernest Brown, always relied on Morris' father, Dr. Manley, to give him back treatments and needed relief from his back pain. May our gracious Lord and Savior grant you peace in dealing with your sorrow and the loss of your lifetime love and best friend.

Dear Naomi,
Morris and I worked together in Engineering from 1975 to 1980. We became friends years before that. You and your family should know that he was a very dedicated employee, who enjoyed his work.
He was always a gentleman who treated others with respect and a smile.
It was a priviledge to know Morris.
My wife and I are praying for you and your family.
God Bless you!!!
