My father-in-law was a man of great honor, strength and warmth with a wonderful dose of silly. I am a better person having known Dale and his wife Mickey and of course their children. The Morris Family taught me how sweet life can be when love is your north star. Tender hearted and funny, kind and giving infused every experience I had with them. It's so hard to say good bye to people from whom I have received so much. I love you always, SuseBear

I shall miss you Unkie. You were sharp, just like Flora, to the end, knowing and loving us. Our FaceTime conversations were a treasure to me. Love you a lot.

I have a lot of fond memories of the Morris family. Mr. and Mrs. Morris were some of the best people I ever met. The New Year's Day dinners they hosted were fantastic, and the Morris family was ever so nice to be around. I know my father considered Dale a very close friend, and my parents loved being around both of them. I know Mr. Morris was very, very patriotic, and loved his Country like I do. Proud to have known Mr. & Mrs. Morris. Great memories of them forever.
