Kenton Morris

Well, my sweet friend,
It's been almost a year since we got the horrible news about you. I must say that it's not been an easy year for any of us that love you.

You would have been amazed and so touched by all of the many people who spoke so well of you at your memorial service. There was the mother of the little boy that you took on an "Angel Flight".You saved his life and boy was he cute and appreciative. There were people from your beloved WGN, your family and there was...

In doing research on Chester Morris and trying to find relatives I just saw the news that Kenton had passed. I am very saddened to read about this and am sending you my deepest sympathies. From what I've read Kenton was a very kind, loving man. I am researching his father and trying to contact his son Brooks Morris or any other relatives who could offer me any information. I am creating a website tribute for his father, Chester Morris that I would like to share with him.

To all that love Kenton...
...Kenton & I were best friends in New York. We lived right around the corner from each other and went to Browning together. Sad to say I hadn't talked to him in in eons. He was a wonderful friend and a first class son. I cherished the time we got to spend together. I know he is with us, and we will meet across the bridge again.

Dear Lori and family.

I just learned of Kenton's passing
and offer my sincere condolences to you and your family. Although I spoke over the phone with Kenton around 18 years ago inquiring about some information concerning his father, I never had the priviledge of meeting him. I am a devoted fan of Chester Morris and based on all the wonderful tributes friends and relatives have commented on in this guest book, it was evident Kenton was a very very special person. His dad and...

Kenton and I were classmates at The Browning School in New York. We were in Spanish class when Paul Selver burst into the room and shouted, “President Kennedy has been shot!”

I enjoyed Kenton’s sense of humor. He put his jacket on backward, combed his over his forehead and postured as a Beatle. I think Headmaster Cook gave him a chewing out for breaking the dress code.

I thought to look him up the last time I was in Chicago, but you know how that goes. I was in and out...

Dear Lori, Kira, Beth and Jill--

I'm sending you my deepest sympathies. It's hard to believe this has happened, but to think about Kenton, it's also pretty unbelievable what a great guy he was and the impact he had on so many people. I'm so happy that you all had him in your lives, and I'm truly sorry that you have to deal with his loss. Know that I love you all and you hold a special place in my heart.

My love and sympathy,
Mary

When I decided that I was going to get up here and talk about Kenton it took me a long time to figure out what I should talk about. Every time I would start getting somewhere this same image kept jumping into my mind.
A 20lb perfectly cooked Christmas Prime Rib.
That’s right I said it. I will miss the man’s cooking. Kenton could cook any type of meat (my favorite food of course) and make it taste delicious. I would like to think it always amazed him how much I could...

Dear Kenton,
I don’t even know where to start. I wish you were here to help me write this. You were always so good with words and knew just what to say to make every situation okay. I’ll never forget the first day mom introduced us to you. It must have been pretty intimidating walking into a room with 3 teenage girls. We gave you a pretty hard time but you never gave upon us. Over the years we all grew to know you and have created so many memories I’ll never forget- the vacations we...

Dear Morris Family,

My name is Brendan Sneegas and I am the Outreach Director at Angel Flight Central. The vast majority of time I rely heavily on the eyes and ears of our great pilots and volunteers to “spread the word” about the mission of AFC to those in their communities. The job is difficult because 10 States is a very large region, and many community events, airshows, conferences, tradeshows and health fairs take place each and every week. Staffing these events takes time,...
