To all of the young cousins growing up in a big, high spirited Jewish family, our Uncle Morey had a way of making each of us feel special. He was soft spoken but he always had a way of capturing your attention and making the world full of magic. When we would visit him in the jewelry store we would find him deeply engrossed in a dimension few children ever get to see. And he would share the amazing intricacies of a time piece or the stunning beauty of a jewel in a way that taught us to look beneath the surface of things and find the millions of treasures in life that were there waiting if only you were wise enough to seek them out.
He was never too busy to treat us with the kind of sincere attention so precious to young kids growing up. He knew our spirits and our souls, and nurtured them with his gentle wisdom, always seeing the unique precious qualities in each of us. To this day I can still close my eyes and see that special wink and smile he gave me whenever I reached out to him.
Our uncle Morey brought us all the key to living a beautiful and blessed life. He saw the special gifts of everyone who touched his soul and somehow knew how to "polish the diamond" for each of us. Knowing he now holds his sweet and beautiful Rosie in his arms once again fills me with joy.
All the qualities I treasure in him shine from my cousins Adrian and Alden and our love for each other will bring us greater strength and happiness as the years unfold. We will stay true to all he taught us and hopefully will bring light and beauty to the world as he has.
