Mort was one of the most creative engineers & finest persons that I have ever know. I worked with him & the RCA team in the 1980's & he made me a better thinker & much better person. My sincere sympathy & best wishes to Evelyn. She is a "Saint". She made Mort a better person & put up with all of us as well!

I just found out today (Tuesday, February 20, 2018) about Mort's passing. I'm sitting here at my desk crying. He was such a special person and I am honored to have known him and to have called him friend. The world is a bit dimmer without Mort in it. I would not be the engineer I am today without Mort's influence. He hired me into Techmatics, Inc. in the early '90's and I worked directly with him for several wonderful years. Mort was truly the consummate engineer. He taught me many things about engineering, and life in general, for which I will be eternally grateful. Evelyn, I am so sorry for your loss.

I was so sorry to read about Mort's passing. Mort was a good friend and mentored me throughout my time at RCA and then GE Aerospace. He was truly a dedicated engineer, manager and a resource of knowledge that, today, could not be duplicated. Always trying to do his best in whatever he put his mind to. He was always so proud to talk about his kids and their successes. I wish all the very best to Evelyn and his family. I will surely miss him!
