Morris grew up in Bayside, Queens, NY and then attended Cornell University, Class of 1974.  He met Lisa on her third day at Cornell during a Hillel gathering.  They attended many Cornell reunions together for both the classes of 1974 and 1976.

After Cornell, he attended New York Medical College, graduating in 1978 and continued to be active in the alumni association for many years.

In 1978, he joined Massachusetts General Hospital as an Intern and Resident in Radiology.  He joined Suburban Radiology working at Symmes Hospital, Somerville Hospital, and offices in Lexington and Arlington.  Then he joined Brigham Community Radiology until his retirement.

“Mo”, as he was called in Lexington, was a dedicated member of the Temple Emunah Brotherhood of Lexington, and The Federation of Jewish Mens Clubs.  He worked tirelessly on so many projects and events throughout the years and made many friends.

Lisa and Morris traveled a great deal and particularly enjoyed cruising all over the world for many years.  They had so many wonderful experiences together. We give thanks to the support from the Temple Emunah community.

We are so grateful for the care that Morris received at the MGH Cancer Center and give thanks to Dr. Donald Lawrence and his caring team for their incredible care.
