Morris was my friend. We shared lots of conversations together over the last 10 years. He was very wise!! He loved his kids more than anything, and it showed. He loved car rides and going to the park just to feel the sun,and listen to his favorite "classical" tunes.
I know he is in a better place now and I will miss him dearly~!!~
Love, Jan Pasko
Mo, when I think of you, I think of a father devoted to providing for his children. Thank you, you did it well. "Alles das Beste fur meine Kinder!" Those were always your words.

Your family misses and loves you very much. We will always be together.

We are all so sorry we didn’t know about this until today, March 27. We offer our deepest condolences. I have such fond memories of visiting Uncle Moe at Ashbourne Country Club and loved driving around with him in a golf cart.
Sending much love,
Amy, Marv, Rhonda and Brad Miller.
Although I never met Morris, I think I know the type of man he was by knowing you Eric. Smart, optimistic about life’s potential and someone who enjoyed sampling different slices of the American experience. Sorry for your loss Eric and Lori.
