Morris was probably one of the kindest, most patient, and most intelligent survivors of the 60s-70s that ever walked this earth. My deepest sympathies to all of his family and his friends who are feeling this loss so deeply as they read his obituary. A life well lived....May G-d bless his soul and his mourning family and friends.
