I just heard about this treasured human, leaving our ranks here on earth! He always greeted me with a smile, was always happy to see me, always happy to work on leather projects for me, always happy to talk horses with me. I finally got him to start calling me Joan, instead of Doctor! He was a lovely human who will be missed. My grief is shared by many, prayers to his wife and family.

My time spent drinking thousands of cups of coffee and smoking cigars with Morrie, are some of the best highlights of my life. His friendship and wisdom will be dearly missed.
