My condolences to Morty's wife and children. Morty was a cousin I never had a chance to know. I played in the mountians of eastern Kentucky with his brothers as a boy and Morty came along after I left. I am saddened to hear of your loss, but these posts have assured me that he has left a legacy to be proud of.

Again my sympathies, you are in my prayers.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Mort's sudden passing. My brother, brother-in-law and I all went to high school with him. I remember him as a very nice guy who was always fun to be around. I had seen him in recent years at a local store where I had worked, and I was so glad to see that time had been good to him, blessing him with a wonderful family who he was very proud of and he loved very much. Please know that our family mourns with yours at the loss of this truly great man. He will be missed.

I remember when Morty came to Erie from Kentucky. He was a great cousin who always said he be there if anyone ever bothered me. He was a big guy even being a middle school student at the time, but he was like a big teddy bear to me! We really enjoyed his company and hearing him talk with his Kentucky accent. He will be missed so much. I hope he is with Marge and Charlie in Heaven . We will miss you Mort.
