Arlen, Beverly, Charlotte, and Doreen,<br>Please accept sincere condolences from my family to yours on the death of your father. I have nothing but fond memories of Uncle Morris, and each time I think of him, I am taken back to the farm many years ago where we all had some very enjoyable times together in the old farmhouse and on the farmstead. Our thoughts will forever be with all of you on December 14, the very same day my dad passed away. Take care!

Morris and Elda were great neighbors and enjoyed our chats. I remember a time working on a vehicle in my driveway and sure enough Morris is over under the hood helping out and going to get a special tool from his garage to make the project go easier. Peace to all the family.<br>
