I had the good fortune of working with George at NGPL. He was highly intelligent, practical and a good decision maker. He was a genuine "people person" with the most engaging smile and he was always ready with a good joke. It was a pleasure to spend an evening with George when my husband and I were in Florida earlier this year. He hadn't changed a bit. I will miss his wit, his smile and his good advice on how to handle a sticky situation. I hope you will find some comfort in the fact that your father meant so much to so many who worked with him and became his friends as well. My deepest sympathy to the entire Morrow clan.

I was privileged to have worked for George in his office when he was President of NGPL. He was the most kind, considerate and forgiving man. I have wonderful memories of that time, typing his book pages, etc. I still remember, Susan, one visit that he took your daughter (maybe about 3-4 years old) shopping to buy "any dress she wanted" and wouldn't let you or your Mother go, he was so proud of that and I thought that the most wonderful Grandpa there could be. You have my sympathy and I will truly miss his e-mails.

I worked for George when he was at Peoples Gas and when he was at Natural Gas Pipeline. In fact, I owe a lot of my advancement to George Morrow. George and Louie Lawrence(another former President of Natural) were in to visit us a few months ago at Natural's office in Lombard. I speak on behalf of all of us still at Natural who worked for George and we will miss a wonderful man and people caring former leader.

My sincere sympathy to Georges family. I worked with George directly on a couple of projects but very much appreciated his insight and assistance. We also enjoyed swapping fishing stories.

I was saddened to hear of George's passing last week. I worked with George at NGPL, and have great memories of a fair, fun loving man that always had time for people no matter where they might be in life. I'm sure you miss him deeply.

I did not know Mr Morrow personally but did work both downtown and Lombard. Mr Morrow always treated me with a friendly "hello" and always would ask how I was. Mr. Morrow was one of the men who set the tone for what we "pipeliners" are today. I just wanted to let you know he was a good man and from what I read a good dad. He will be missed by many but we are all better for knowing him. My prayers are with your family and my memories are all good of Mr Morrow and I know he's giving that smile of his to all of us.

I was an associate of George's at Natural Gas Pipeline and MidCon for many years. I enjoyed working both with and for him, and always knew exactly where I stood with him. Since our retirement, I have been in regular touch with him through e-mail and have enjoyed our association.

George and his family were a part of our lives for as long as I can remember. The great times we had as kids visiting the Morrow family - and continuing to hear about all the fun Goerge & Mary had with my parents Doris & John Damm throughout the years. Bill, Susan John & Tom you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your Dad was a great guy!



Sincerely,

George Morrow will be missed by all his fellow pipeliners. He attended many or our retirement luncheons in Florida which all looked forward to seeing him. My sympathy goes to all his family at this time.

We are deeply sorry to read of the death of your father, George. Over the years, it was our pleasure to know and work with him at Peoples Gas. Also, on several occasions, we had great times in Acapulco when he and Mary visited with Charlie Mitchell. Being with them at social events over the years was always a pleasure. He will be missed. May God be with all of you in this time of sorrow.
