It was a wonderful privilege to know this dear man. He was a great boss and a sharp dresser! I don't know how I could have survived without him there to help me along with patience. Even though the time knowing eachother was brief..I held him in deep respect and fondness. Thanks for the hi-fives when you'd ask for the deposit "Is it any good?"! I will miss you. GO NINERS!

To the Leicester Family
Mort was a pleasure to work with and
always had a grim on his face.
Loved the way he dressed. It went
with his smile. A gentle soul who
will be greatly missed.

The past fifteen years that I have known mort have been the most rewarding in my life. I rememeber the first day I interviewed with Mort and the friendship that built because he gave me the opportunity. I have learned so much and continued to learn from him. He is still hovering over me to this day. The memeories that were created are once in a lifetime. His favorite restaurants, his favorite music. I remember when he had to learn all the words to Life in the Fast lane by the Eagles, or when I use to catch him playing Jeopardy on his computer, the list just goes on. His memory will live forever in my heart. He inspired me to have the work ethic I have today. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with him again over the last couple of months, I will cherish that time.

Mort, where do i start??? Over the past 6 1/2 years I have learned so much from you. You are a great mentor and friend. I will always remember how you would brighten everyones days by just walking though the office just singing random songs. I will miss our morning jumbles and football pools and especially your awesome halloween costumes. Not only were you are boss you were also our friend. You made it a priority to learn about us as an individual and our families as well. You have touched so many lives. Your laughter, smile and silly raiders jokes will be greatly missed. I thank you for all you have taught me, the ear you always leant me when I needed someone to talk to, and especially just for being you!! You will be greatly missed Mort, I love you!!
