Jo, Bill Jr. and Family,
I sorry for your loss. Bill was always so nice to me and very pleasant whenever I saw him. Recently, I kept running into him on several occasions, he always had a warm smile and hug.
Prayers for you and your family.

Almost 42 years ago (December 1972), I turned 12 and came into the quorum that Bill (Bro. Morey!) oversaw. I remember the loving, genuine, warm welcome he gave me. The following Saturday, he took us ice fishing at Cooney Reservoir (SW of Billings). I had never been ice fishing before and I caught a fish! I met him again about ten years later in Helena and he was, of course, the same loving man.
Jeanette and Harold Chambers says

Jo and Family,
How blessed I have been to have had the privilege of knowing Bill. What a remarkable man! I have numerable memories in which I hold dear of my time with you all in Montana (Thanksgiving dinners, card games, the cabin, etc.). Thank you for all of your love and kindness. My deepest sympathies, thoughts, and prayers are with you at this time.
Sending my love from Utah.

Jorja Hensley Munns says
Dear Jo and family,
“The Goose Hunter” will be missed. As land owners we sometimes joke how everyone gets friendlier at hunting season. Not so with Bill–he was a friend all year round. Thanks for having us in your home and sharing your friendship.
Love, Jorja and June

Dear Jo,
I am sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I have fond memories of our families living next door to one another. I remember card games around the kitchen table and lots of laughter. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Earl and Pauline Johnson and son Brett says
Far to many childhood memories with the Morey family for me to list but some of the special ones, My mom will never forget him giving them a filter queen vacumn cleaner as a gift when they were struggling, as well how kindly he treated her, My dad remembers like it was yesterday a goose hunting trip where he fired before he yelled pull which was not really accepted by the rest of the hunting party but a laugh at the camp fire afterword! Big Bill as I called him as I grew up with his son, I remember being with him when he got his first bull elk, an avid hunter and sportsman it seemed elk had alluded him, well talk about a kid at Christmas! another fond thought was bbquing on canyon ferry and he told me to come a running, I don’t think he meant run through my screen door! Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family with much love in our hearts! The Johnsons
Betty & Fritz Benway says
Dear Jo and family, We are so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a dear man. We have many fond memories of being your next door neighbors in Great Falls. I remember the time Bill came over and we went in the back yard to find Fritz. I left butter melting on the stove and the house was filled with smoke when we came in. An hour later Bill arrived with a new Filter Queen. I used it for years. We had many good times together and wonderful memories of the Morey family.

Even though I have never Bill I feel like I have known him for years. Both of you were meant for each other. May the LORD give you HIS PEACE at this time Jo. Please accept our condolences and know that our thoughts are with you. God bless you and your family.
