Many good times.

MORRY WAS MY GOD FATHER MAY HE REST IN PEACE.HE WAS A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MY FATHER IRVING MAZER

To the entire Kaplan family -- this must be a hard blow to bear, especially so soon after the loss of Burt. But please be comforted by memories of happy times that you shared, as well as knowing that his long, full, well-lived life serves as an inspiration to others to make the world a better place, as both he and Burt did, "lighting candles" rather than just "cursing the darkness." Anyone who was a part of his life is, indeed, fortunate. My deepest sympathy to your family.

I was a neighbor of Morris (Joe Brody's step daughter, Joy Sligh Corson). Always a smile and genuine caring. Jean came out to visit me at my home in Arizona and because of time and distance we lost touch. Would someone please notify her of my sincere condolences and contact me at 602-826-4804. or 6 Inner Circle, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258.

Again, Morris was a wonderful man and loved his first wife.

My sincere condolences to the Kaplan Family. Morrie was the best "boss" that anyone could have had. There never was anyone close to him during my 37 years with Sealy. The world is a much better place for having Morrie on this planet. May he rest in peace...

Dear Dolores, Bob, Jeanne, Anne, and all of your children and grandchildren: I loved Morry like he was my own grandfather, because he treated me like a member of the family, and gave so generously of himself to make me and all around him better than we thought we could be. I owe so much to knowing him. My heart and thoughts are with you.

Dolores - You are very much in our thoughts and prayers. He was a giant!

Barbara and Wally Scott

To Dolores: From a Williams family member although a distant one: I know how much our family, especially in Chicago, has valued the friendship and great trips and times through the years with Morry. I send my heartfelt condolences. Morry will be greatly missed among the Williams clan. A life so well lived..Janet/Cissy (#2 Williams daughter)
