Rest in peace
He’s been in my life since I was 16 years old he made sure I went back to high school after I dropped out and when I graduated he go me the class ring he had promised me I have so many amazing memories with him he was an amazing teacher and dad to me are favourite song to sing together was picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow when he would play it on his guitar we would both sing I love you and will always miss you dad
Morry, my heart is so heavy hearing of your passing. We were so close growing up, and I will always treasure the memories we shared. I spent so many nights at your home growing up, where there was always so much love, laughter, and the beautiful sound of our dads playing guitars together, I’m sure that had an influence on you growing up too, in your love for music and playing the guitar. Those are moments I will never forget.
Your mom held such a special place in my heart, and your home always felt like a second home to me. I’ll never forget us playing ‘Run My Good Sheep Run’ together with Jan and Mark—those were such happy, carefree times that I’ll always hold close to my heart.
Though life took us in different directions, I will always hold onto those precious memories and the bond we shared. You will forever be in my heart, Morry, and you will be deeply missed.
