Dr. Morris Gordon was very helpful in providing references, some additonal laboartory experiements and advice in some of my research projects. He was a one of the founding members of Medical Mycology of the Americas. May his soul rest in PEACE.

I am so sorry to hear about Morris. I know he will be missed but it is truly a blessing he lived a long life. May comfort and peace be with each of you and give you the strength to continue on.

Morris was a wise and gentile man, among his many accomplishments was his contribution to the North Carolina Science Standard Course of Study. He was an avid Duke University and NY Yankee fan, my sympathies to his family and friend Toni Meyer

Morris is greatly missed. He was a gentle soul, generous with his knowledge, and kind in deed and word. He truly was my sister's best friend. May she find comfort in her memories of their 39 years together. With much love, Betty

Morris Gordon was a wise sage to the younger version of this medical mycologist. I will be forever grateful for his generosity of time, patience, and teaching when I was in Albany. Peace, my old friend!

I knew Dr. Gordon for a brief time and he struck me as a good man. It turns out his research may have touched me even more. My anti rejection medicine is from fungi found in soil.
