As a loving husband, dad, 
papa, great-grandpapa, uncle,

to know him. It was said that

a beautiful home together

and community involvement. 
Morton was very generous 
to a long list of charities and

donations, not looking for 
recognition of any sort.

brother Harold, had fruit and 
vegetable stands at the Ferry-
Chene Market and later at 
the Eastern Market with his 
beloved wife and was partners 
with his son Aaron at Global 
Remanufacturing.

taught selflessness and 
showed everyone how to love 
and care for others. Morty 
was a longtime member of 
Congregation Shaarey Zedek 
in Southfield and was an active 
member and board member of 
Temple Beth Israel of Deerfield 
Beach, Florida.

of Oak Park; daughters 
and sons-in-law, Sandra 
and Paul Marx of Laguna
