Not sure what to say?

Dear Amy and family, Mike and I are saddened to hear of Phil's death and so very thankful that we took the time to stop by for a visit to the costume shop and to your home. We had such a nice visit and even though Phils mind was not as sharp as normal, he was such a hospitable guy. Mike has great memories of working for Phil on the Wizard of Oz and Spirit of 76 shows. May the Lord be your comfort as you grieve the loss of such a great guy.

I went to McKinley School (early elementary ) with Phil we lived in the same neighborhood thru Central High. Worked with his Aunt Judy Wager and she thought the world of him. He really was the kind of guy you didn't forget. Prayers for you all.

sending love and strength during this difficult time. My heart hurts for the Morris family and I hope you all know how many people Phil effected in such a positive way. He will truly be missed.

Dear Amy, Scott and Family, we were so saddened to hear the news. But it brought back many fond memories with Phil at conventions and trade shows. He always had time to talk, joke around and give you business advice while most people in his position wouldn't care. He was always someone to look up to for inspiration as a young entrepreneur, and 36 years later, I still and always will admire him immensely. I'm sure he'll be the star of his new "Big Top"

Dear Amy and Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Phil will always be in our hearts and minds.

Eddie, Hardin and all at Omimeo.

Everyone has a story about Phil and I have no doubt all of them include a practical joke, a magic trick or some sort of light hearted foolishness that Phil was famous for but my favorite story about Phil is how not once, not twice but THREE times he saved our business.
His friendship, knowledge and years of experience kept us from making business mistakes and gives us the ability to celebrate 30 years in business.
Phil wasn't just a business associate. He was a mentor, a friend and...

Your light shines on.

You will be greatly missed, Uncle Phil.

To the Morris Family, My heart is sad, but only for a moment.Mr.Morris is at peace.The Theatrical Shop in West Des Moines Iowa has been a Morris Customer for many years. I always had great delight to receive a new catalog. There was always a family portrait that showed so much love and pride. Our prayers are with you. Weeping may endure but for a night.

Many of my childhood memories involved Mr. Morris and his family. He and Scott gave me my first job. A few hours in the warehouse a couple days a week and facepainting at the Panthers games. There were many late evenings and afternoons spent looking around Mr. Morris's office while he and my dad talked.

It is an understatement to say he will be missed. I will always be his little Eskimo girl.

Thoughts and prayers to Mrs. Morris, Scott, Teri, Sandra, Shawn and Brandon and...
