Morris always filled the room with his generous spirit. From when Jane and I were kids Morris always had a good joke, a funny story, and usually a tasty treat waiting for us. I hope that Morris' joyful spirit is always with you.

Dear Linda and Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies. Morris was such a great guy - any time I stopped over he (and yourself) was also so hospitable and he always had a funny story to share. He had such a great sense of humour and outlook on life. Treasure the great memories!
Susan Block

Linda, Am so sorry for your loss of a man who was so obviously the love of your life. Morris will live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved him. Memories can not be taken away, they last forever.

/although I did not know Morris aside from passing introductions in tennis clubs, I know Linda well and we shared many common 'husband stories' related to our children, Hawaiian travels, and tennis. The strength in this family is amazing.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for you, Linda, and your family. For us, Lake O'Hara was a place to meet up with you and Morris, either on the trail, or around the dinner table, to exchange stories on our lives and more especially, the lives of our children.
We felt profoundly saddened by your news last September when we met you both and yet enormously impressed by the honesty and bravery you both displayed. We feel we have lost a good friend in Morris - and will miss his smile and infectious laugh every time we are at Lake O'Hara.
We both sincerely hope to see you at LoH Lodge but will connect with you in Calgary anyway, next time we are in town.
Love, Jane and Dave Leask

Linda,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in the passing of Morris. He was and always will be one of the special people who I went to school with for 12 years. As life went on, our highschool reunions were always fond and memorable because he was present. The last one brought us to a campfire to reflect on "old times". Sadly, for Morris the campfire has gone out. However, we as friends can rekindle the fire at the next reunion with great memories of his life.

Dear Linda & Family, We were shocked that
Morrison had passed away. Please accept
our condolences and we will always remember our visits at Lake O'Hara. Blessings.

Linda and Family
Our deepest condolences to the Butcher family. We knew Morris for only a short time, however we thoroughly enjoyed his company at Heather and Jon engagement party in Winnipeg and the wedding in Edmonton. We were very pleased the two of you joined us on the day following the wedding for Ukrainian food and especially the morel mushroom gravy he really enjoyed. He will be missed.
Donna and Marvin Zaozirny, Edmonton

Carman & Laura Falloon

Dear Linda and family, I am so sorry for your loss of this special man in your life, but strength does come from knowing his suffering and pain is gone. Life never prepares us for that final farewell to someone who has been so loved. Speak of the fun times and memories of him, often, as it does help to lighten the heavy heart you will feel. My sincere sympathy to all of you, on the passing of a friend and acquaintance I have had for nearly 60 years.

Lots of love to you, Linda. From Val.

Linda and family - I'm sorry for your loss. Morris will be missed. Every day I spent time with him was a good day, and I'll always cherish the memories of our friendship. Morris brightened things up in so many ways, and our shared passion for cars, investing, and Guinness made for lively and interesting discussions. An irreplaceable man has left the theatre of life.

Dear Linda and Family; Too soon. A wonderful and funny man. A far better tennis player than he ever admitted. We shall miss him on the courts of Maui.

It is hard to believe that Morris, a vibrant and creative soul has passed. Our days together at law school in Manitoba are some of my best memories. He laughed and lived. A fine example to follow! Hugh Adams, Winnipeg.

Dear Linda and family ... I am saddened by this news but will always, always treasure the memory of his friendship. With love and sympathy...

Sincere sympathy to Catherine and Steven and all of your at this sad time.

Morris was a genuinely good person. He and Linda always made us feel very welcomed whenever we visited. We feel blessed to have been his friend and a part of his life.

Our hearts are heavy with the knowledge that our long time friend, Morris, is gone.

They are also with you, Linda, and with your children, grandchildren, parents, and brothers and sisters.

We will cherish fondly our times with Morris and family, and that he made everyone feel special and welcome. Morris's hearty laugh, his endless chuckle, and his warm embraces, will stay with everyone who knew or met him.

Rest easy now, dear friend, rest easy.
