Not sure what to say?

Your mom and dad were such great people. They appreciated you "kids" so much. We had the pleasure of knowing them socially and business wise. Loved booking their trips. Canby was one of the communities that benefited from their contributions. I think of both of them on my walks past their beautiful home on Country Club Drive. Wishing you all the best as you continue the Morse legacy. Our sincere sympathies for your loss, Catherine and Tim Davis, Canby

Dear Holly and family....
I never had the pleasure of meeting your father, but he sounds like such a wonderful man. (Of course he was...look at his daughter!) He has such a genuine smile. I am so sorry for your loss.

I joined WVCC back in '86, and Dick made me feel so welcomed! He convinced me to play in a 3 club tournament which convinced me I did not need all those other clubs! Enjoyed seeing him when he played with Charlie Strader at Waverley in their Senior Invitational. What a twosome they were! Both loved golf and family! Save some tee times up there for all of us!

It was a pleasure knowing you and golfing with you and your wife in past years at Willamette and Palm Desert. It has been many years since we have talked or seen each other, but you have always had a place in my heart. Such a kind and gentle Man. You will be greatly missed.

After joining WVCC in 1964, Dick was the first member I met and with whom I played golf. After that many, many wonderful outings.

No one was more fun, had a better wit or a quicker retort than Dick. Not even "Johnny".

John and Joyce Anicker wish to express their joy in knowing Dick and their sadness in losing a friend.
Jon has found memories of the annual Willamette Valley-Waverly golf match featuring Morse, Magee vs Anicker, Wood.

I know you are golfing in the big sky right now.....I am sure you are hitting 'em better than ever as there is no gravity!!!! You were loved by everyone Dick, of all ages....such a handsome, gregarious, Cary Grant/Johnny Carson kind of a man. I wish I could give you just one more hug!!!!

Love, Claude the Bod!
