  My deepest sympathies to Morris's entire family. I remember him well from my days at Black Mountain Irrigation District & his at Reid Crowther. Morris always had a smile and a story to tell me when he came in. He was a true gentleman and respected by many.
  
  Sincerely, Jo-Ann Redlich

  I am so sorry to read of the passing of my dear friend Morris. I was so lucky to know him like I did. For a number of years he'd come into Lakeside Pharmacy 2-3 times a week, to have have a visit with all and a coffee and a treat. He was so very proud of you all. When his great grandchildren came I'd get to meet them also, as Brydie would come in once a week, to keep an eye on her Grandpa. He's the only person I know that challenged the government to get his driver licence back. My Daughter was managing Lakeshore Place so I got to keep up with what he was up to. My last visit with him we had a wee scotch together in his suite there. By the way Boys he be very please with what you wrote about him. God bless.
