Lauren, Esther and Gail,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of your father/husband. His sense of family, devotion and respect was such an admiral trait and influence on me. Mort always made me feel at ease because of his non-judgemental nature and his easy-going character. He will be missed by all who knew him. Love Julie and Ray

Dear Esther and Family:
Mort was one of my first clients as i started in public accounting. Not only was he an honorable businessman, he was a friend. He spoke of his "girls" (all 3) very often and with pride. The Breakfast Club will miss him.

I am very sorry to hear that Mort has passed away.
He was an honorable businessman. I always enjoyed working on his machines when he was on Damen Avenue. But mostly I enjoyed the many nice conversations we had over the years.
May he rest in peace.
