I worked Morris "Moe" at Lowes. He always could make you laugh no matter how bad you thought things were. He was always having a good time. Talking trash to somebody making us all laugh. It made the work day go by. I will miss seeing him around. I know he loved the kids he coached, he would talk about the games the next day. The kids will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to Moe's family and friends and also to his Lowes family. He will be missed by everyone.
My condolences to the Aiken family. May you find peace in the midst of your grief. We all wasn't expecting this to happen but God has other plans for Morris. Sleep well my friend. We love you but God loved you best. ~Duley~
