I accidentally came upon the notice of the passing away of Mort.I am so sorry.
I was, at this very moment, reliving his infectious laugh, which prompted me to look up his name on the Internet.
His laugh was very special, reaching a peak; and made his friends who were privileged to be in his presence gleeful and happy, encouraging us to share his joy. I am honored to have been one of those people.
Please accept my condolences.

Mort was a very popular member of the Class of 1953 of Senn High School. His popularity resulted from his warm,genuine interest in his friends, his quick response to anyone who needed help or understanding. Mort carried this through his entire life.He was loyal,strong and caring. He ran his business the same way. He treated everyone with respect and warmth. Mort was a true friend to all of us.

I'm so sorry for your loss my grandmother passed away not to long ago and reading the verse revaluation 21:3,4 helped me with my grief because it reminds me that I should have hope because I will be able to see her again.
