A note from Frank (father in law of Susie)

I have a lot of great memories of Mort, but one of my favorites was an incident at your wedding in Hawaii. Mort and I were tasked with bringing stuff from the condo up to Princeville where the wedding and reception were taking place.We got to Princeville (about a 40 minute drive from the condo) only to find we'd forgotten something. I can't even remember what it was, but it was important enough that we had to high-tail it back, pick it up, and get back in time for the ceremony.When we arrived back at the condo (which was on the second floor), we found that the front door was locked and we didn't have a key.

We went into an open condo next door, went out on the balcony, and leaned over and looked around the wall at the balcony and back door of the unit that was locked to see if we could see anyone. All we saw was the back sliding door and we wondered out loud whether it was locked or not.

I started to problem solve the situation and mentioned something about seeing if the front office had a key or a ladder when your dad grabbed the rail and a drain pipe and launched himself over the rail, around the separating wall, and onto that adjoining balcony.

Quite a feat with a cement pool deck below!

I suspect you'd say that was just like him.

I think he was the inspiration for the Nike slogan,
"Just Do It!".

PS: The rear slider was open and we made it back in time to see you guys get hitched......
