Dear Jo & Family,
I am so sorry about the death of Mortie. I have been keeping up with his illness through Randy and Charles. He was a great man and touched the lives of so many. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Katherine Hicklin McClam

I loved Uncle Mortie and remember him as a quite and gentle man. He always had a big smile and was good to us when we were kids.
He will be missed in our family. May God bless his family during this time, as only he can. Love Linda Galloway Greene.
