My Sincere condolences to the Rosenfield family. I had the pleasure of working with Maurice while he was a patient at Athletico Physical Therapy, where I currently work. He was a wonderful and strong individual who could always make people laugh. Maurice used to bring me ice cream and tell jokes. He had a great personality like that. I am very saddened by your loss, but I hope you know he will be missed by many people including myself. God Bless.

Dear Family, Hi, I had the pleasure of knowing Morrie and Lois for the past 6 years. I was their hairdresser. I loved the elagance your mother had it was all so natural. Every year she would bring me Lilacs from the garden or what ever her mood was. I always booked more time because I loved hearing all about her life. She wuld make me laugh , she once had the car in for some service work and got all agrevated but would say Oh that car of mine ,My morrie says the only car a women should drive is a Jaguar. Then she would giggle she said it really wasn't her but what Morrie says stands. Soon after your Dad had a hard time getting around so after Lois would come into the shop ,off to the house I would go for your Dad. After your mom passed away Morrie and I made our standing date Thurs. or Friday, I teased him ,I said the book should of been called thurs or Friday with Morrie and Wendy. He Would talk of such wonders in his lifetime ,how blessed your parents were. Last year your Dad helped sponser my swimming team that I coached for the Maccabbi Games . When I came back the kids sent him a picture Thanking him for all his help. Morrie was so proud when I told him the kids took home 73 medals the most ever. We said it was because of the suits he helped me purchase. He put the letter right by Lannie's pictures she drew. Oh how he loved all of you. His face would light up when ever he would be talking about any one of you. He couldn't get over the fact that his grandson talked him into buying a Bright Pink sport coat and a Blue one. He wore it to Ravinia I told him we would never get lost in the crowd. I will miss my days with Morrie but when I think of all we shared a smile comes to me , I'm the one who is a better person for I had the fortune to KNOW MR.& Mrs. Maurice Rosenfield.

LOve ,

Wendy

My sincere condolences to the Rosenfield Family. Maurice was an inspiration to me, a man who gave me my first break in Chicago Broadcasting, for that I will be eternally thankful. He was a great mentor and boss.
