It was such a joy for me to get to know Morris and visit with him. What a sweet, gentle, compassionate man. Thanks for the great legacy. We send our love, faith and best wishes to you Elaine.

Fond memories of Morris and his wonderful family. His dad was our Bishop and served the East Millcreek area with great love and compassion. Morris inherited his great qualities as a member of this great family. He served well in his duty to God and Country.

Our love to his family.

Kathy and Jeff we are in Texas this month and will not be able to attend with family and friends. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers and we are even more grateful for the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ and for his making it possible for us to be reunited at a later time.
Love you guys.
