Katie,
It is with great sadness to hear of Ben's passing. He was a kind, caring, and all around good person and I will miss him.
God be with you and the rest of the family.
Ben- Your suffering on this earth is now over and you have gone to heaven to meet family and friends that have gone before you and to await those left behind to join you at a later time.
I hope I will be blessed enough to be one of them.
May God bless you.

Ben was a life long friend and I me him in college at USC and then our paths crossed again in Charlotte in the '60's when I got out of the army. He was a fun loving but very honorable man and I treasure his friendship.. Rest in peace dear friend.

Truly a great man and wonderful attorney.

To the Morrow family, please know you have my deepest sympathies. May knowing how much Mr. Morrow's life touched others give you some small peace.
Working in the court system, I have encountered many attorneys over the years. However, it was only on the rarest of occasions that my path crossed with Mr. Morrow's. He nonetheless made a lasting impression upon me in precious few moments.
From his introduction, what clearly emanated from Ben Morrow was kindness, a gentle nature, respect--far too often absent attributes today. But Mr. Morrow somehow personified these traits, thus inscribing me with an unending respect and appreciation for the man. Moreover, it's clear that he left practically everyone with this same impression. Never was Ben Morrow's name mentioned that it was not associated with something positive.
His loss will surely be deeply and profoundly felt.
Godspeed, Mr. Morrow, and to all who love you, peace.

Mr. Morrow was the sweetest, kindest, and most supportive dad. Not just to his own daughters, but to those of us fortunate enough to be friends with his daughters. There are few childhood memories of mine that do not include the Morrow family ... Shagging at the beach, swim team, church choir ... Mr. Morrow was always so lovely and fun. HUGS and LOVE to my beloved Morrow Family.
