Dr Inch was a great and magnanimous man. There are two things that I remember about him. The first was the tour he gave through the Protestant cemetery that bordered the IHLS/Jerusalem University College. The second was the collection of jar handles that he had collected over the year. He had become an authority. My condolences to his family during this time of grief.

Morris was one of the most kind hearted people I have ever know. As highly educated as he was he was always humble and patient with people. I know he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

The impact of Morris' life on me and my family is profound and long lasting. He was a kind, gentle man who taught me so much about the Scriptures and church history. He was a Christian worth imitating. Rest in peace, Morris.

So sorry to hear of Morris' passing. He truly made the world a better place and those of us who knew him better people. I can easily picture his wonderful smiling face as he gets to look upon our Savior. Rest in Jesus!
