Your big Irish smile and cheer when I met you through St. Andrew School remain with me when I have prayed for you and your wife this last year. Having you and your family pass through my life have enriched me and made me grin in tough times. May Christ sustain your loving wife in coming months.

Mary Ellen, my dear driving instructor, and your family please I hope you know what Mike meant to the Murphys. He’s a giant among men and a role model like no other. I am so honored to have him as a family member.
My love to all the Morrisons.

Mike ‘Morry’ Morrison: as great a Notre Dame man as we have ever known. Requiescat in pace, old friend.
To Charley, Mary Ellen, and family: Our world is now diminished. Hang in there.
Ron Chernak says
Sincerest condolences to Mary Ellen and the family. Morry was unique and I doubt that he ever grew up. He was part of the glue that kept the “Boys” from the 71 Rugby team together and part of our collective Notre Dame experience. Morry will be both remembered and missed. Rest in peace my friend.

Blessings and offers of comfort, hope, and peace for you Mary Ellen, brother Charlie M. and all the family. May Mike’s soul rest in the joyous and Everlasting Kingdom of God.

Mary Ellen and family our condolences. Mike was a great friend, a wonderful mentor, a courageous Marine, and a truly one of a kind Commander. His life truly touched and helped form foundations in so many who needed just a little help to get to the next level.
