I grew up in Pinehaven. I delivered the Worcester Telegram in the neighborhood. The Morlock Family was one of my favorite customers.
So very sorry for your loss. The Morlock family always invited me in when the weather was bad. To either dry off when raining or warm up when cold.
Many fond memories....rest in peace Mr. Morlock

Dear Peter & Ann,
It is so hard for anyone to express condolences because it is so sad to lose a father. No matter what age, we don't want them to go. Peter, from what we have heard about your Dad, it seems he was a very outstanding and strong man. I am sure there will never be another like him. For sure he influenced your life because you are also a very good man.
Sincerely,
Sheila & Bob
