Sally, my heart goes out to you, Laura and Jordan on Morris's passing. His loss saddens me and all the classmates of our childhood greatly. From an early age, Morris had a strong influence on me. He represented compassion, unequivocal love, a tradition of Yiddishkeit and inner strength inherited from his father and mother, a concentration camp survivor. His passing saddens me
