I never had the honor of meeting and knowing Morton, but it is my distinct honor and privilege to know his son Steve. And if, as they say "the apple doesn´t fall from the tree" and Steve is indeed a reflection of Morton, then he must have been an intelligent, driven, honorable and compassionate man. May his memory be a blessing.
