Jo Ann and I are so saddened by Maurice's passing. I was there at at the University of North Carolina at the inception of his career in public television. It was a wonderful time. Made more wonderful by people, like Maurice, who were dedicated to their craft and to their friends. Maurice will be sorely missed, but most surely remembered.

Linda,Claudia and family

I was so very saddened to hear that Maurice had passed away. I remember the fun time we had at your dinner table and all the exciting details he shared with me about his wonderful travels. He was so full of happiness, and you and Claudia were such a special part of the enjoyment of his days. I will also always remember how he described you as his angel... May you both always find comfort in those beautiful memories and others that you have gathered along the way.

My deepest sympathy,

M. Katherine Reller

I worked with Maurice on the WUNC-TV Chapel Hill Studio crew in the early 1960s while we were both students at UNC. We were close friends. I remember that he adopted our cat when I was called to US Air Force duty in Thailand. The next time we met was in the 1980s as I was a on-the-air guest for a UNC-TV fundraiser. I asked about Maurice often as our broadcasting careers intersected through the years. He'll be missed as a friend and as a leader in the North Carolina broadcasting profession.

Hugh and I extend our deepest sympathy to Maurice's family. News of his death came as a shock. In our mind's eye Maurice will remain the young man we knew and worked with at WUNC-TV in the mid-1960's - early 1970's. We'll remember the fun times.

What saddens us most is that we did not realize Maurice was in Florida and me missed an opportunity to visit.

With fond memories and deepest sympathy,

Hugh and Serena Fisher

Words cannot express the deep sorrow I feel for the loss of someone so dear to my heart. Maurice touched the hearts of everyone he met and will be sadly missed by all.
