wning the Morris Buick deal-
ership at Seven Mile Road
and James Couzens in Detroit
for nearly four decades was
ideal for Lester Morris.
"He loved cars and he loved talking
with all the people who
came in — finding out
who they were related to
and what they did," said
his son, Bobby Morris.
Decades later, his father
could still recall the per-
sonal histories of friends
and customers.
"I never saw anyone
with such a mastery of
people, places, facts and
relationships," said his
son. "People would mar-
vel when he would
recount their stories."
But another side of
Lester Morris
Lester Morris was his
prolific giving. He did so
as president of the Prentis-Morris Family
Support Foundation at the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and
through many individual acts of charity.
Lester Morris, 85, of Bloomfield
Hills died Oct. 20 of a heart attack. Mr.
Morris, who led a very energetic
lifestyle, had planned to travel the next
day with his wife Jewell Prentis Morris
to their home in Palm Beach, Fla., said
their son.
Five years ago, for his 80th birthday,
Mr. Morris rook his entire family to
Israel, crisscrossing the country and vis-
iting numerous projects funded by the
family's foundation, including a high
school for Russian and Moroccan immi-
grants, a day care center and a village
recreation facility.
But a favorite concern of Mr. Morris
was the Jimmy Prentis Morris Building
of the Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit. The facility in
Oak Park is named for his 13-year-old
son, who died in an automobile acci-
dent while returning from a University
of Michigan football game in 1965.
"I can't begin to describe how his loss
affected the family," said son Bobby
Morris, who said his parents began
looking for something appropriate to do
for the community in memory of his
brother. "They became enamored with
the Oak Park Center."

Mort Plotnick, former executive
director of the JCC, said, "Lester and
Jewell were there for many programs
and had a great emotional commitment
to the facility. They would walk into
that building and they'd be smiling and
talking to people, enjoying every minute
of it."
A few weeks ago, said daughter Patti
Phillips, "He attended
the 'Apples and
Honey' event there,
saw the number of
people who came and
saw the need for an
auditorium. He want-
ed the [JPM] Center
to have a proper place
to have entertain-
ment." Prior to his
death, Mr. Morris had
begun discussions for
funding the project.
Plotnick described
Mr. Morris as "a guy
who always had a
wonderful smile on his
face and a great twin-
kle in his eve. He was very concerned
about what was happening with people.
He had a good global view of what his
responsibilities were to Jewish life."
Mr. Morris devoted much effort to
helping individuals he would hear of or
read about in the newspaper. He con-
tributed to a Jewish Family Service fund
for the recently orphaned Michalson
brothers, for instance, and frequently
visited with the late Temple Beth El
Rabbi Richard Hertz, seeking to lift his
spirits during his final illness.
"He was a one-man mitzvah
machine," pronounced Rabbi Daniel
Syme of Temple Beth El.
Mr. Morris also served on the boards
of numerous non-profit organizations,
including Temple Beth El, Sinai
Hospital, Jewish Home and Aging
Services, Jewish Apartments and Services
and the Michigan Cancer Foundation.
A native of Passaic, N.J., Mr.
Morris met his future wife at a
resort in Lake Placid, N.Y. As told
to Rabbi Syme, "It was electric; it
was love at first sight'" when Mr.
Morris met Jewell Prentis, daughter
of then General Motors treasurer
Meyer L. Prentis and his wife, Anna.
Just six weeks later, the Morrises
were wed, "and thus began a beauti-
ful marriage that extended for 54
years, always in mutual dedication
