Very sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Mort. My sincerest condolences to the entire Swerdlow family, and anybody who had the privilege of knowing Mort. Whenever I returned to my old home town, he was the first call I would make. We always did a lot of reminiscing, name dropping, and the upcoming Packer game, which was always the destination of my trip. The occasional long distance phone calls and text messages were much of the same. I will sure miss those times. Mort was a very special guy, and lived a very full life. RIP Uncle Mort.

I remember Mr. Swerdlow very well. One of the few motorcycle cops (along with Ray Jackson). Very nice man. Very kind to children. Always had the highest respect in our neighborhood. Prayers for Peace & Comfort to his family.
