Words can not describe how close this family of mine is. I remember all the good times when we were little my cousin Josayln and I had at our uncky and Nanets house. That was his nick name we all used it kinda just stuck with us. We would have sleep overs and slumber parties out in the back yard with a tent or on the trampoline. Time spend with my uncky and nanet were the funniest times. He was such a strong, brave yet loving man and he never let anything get him down. I'm so thankful I was able to see him two weeks before he passed and got to spend some time with him. I miss you already, but I know your in a better place with The Lord above not suffering one bit. Forever missed, forever in my heart, I love you!

When I think about Morris Allen I put him right next to my daddy. He was such a hard working caren loven man. I have so many memories of him I could write a book. As anybody knows back n my younger days I was quite the wild one I can just see him now shaken his head say " Jo Jo " with that half smile. As I set herw this morning writen this I can see him looking down shaken his head say " Jo Jo you stop all this crying over me you have more important things to be doing" cause that the kind of man he was. I'm so thankful the Lord sent him to Janet Lee and being part of our family. I know he is walking with the angels and he is probably explaining the slope of the land to them to dig a lake. Love n miss you

When I think of Morris Allen I put him right next to my dad. He was such a wonderful hard working loven man much more than just a brother n law he was a brother. In my younger days I was quite a hell raiser and I cant help but laugh when I think of him lookn at me shaking his head saying " Jo Jo " I have so many wonderful memories I could write a book. As I set here this morning writen this I can just see him looking down shaken his head and say "Jo Jo get up from there and stop all this crying over me you have other things you need be doing" cause thats the kind of man he was. My heart is so heavy missing him but I know he is walking with angels. He is probably trying to explain to them the slopes of the lanascape to dig a lake lol I love and miss you Morris Allen

I have so many things to say about my Uncle Morris I don't know where to start. I called him my Unky that's what he was known by pretty much my whole life. He was always there when I would be crying and upset he knew how to comfort me. He was more than and uncle he raised me as if I was his own and loved me as much as he did his own sons. He has helped me blossom into the person I am today and even though he pushed me and made me mad at the time I appreciate everything he did now. I will never forget the time I got to ride on his bulldozer with him setting on his cooler right beside him. I love you Unky I can't wait to see you again.

I have so many memories of Morris. The one that comes to my mind... I was 13 years old. Joyce and I were at, Morris and Janet's house... There were red hair monkey on TV. Joyce started making fun of me... Said I looked like those red haired monkies. She was say how ugly they were. And I looked just like them. I was almost in tears... When Morris got up. Walked beside me and said... I like the red haired monkies... They are my favorite... He mad me feel so pretty... And then I knew.... He loved me more than he did Joyce... Lol. I have such a respect and love for Morris Tingely... My world will not be the same. Now he is gone... I am thankful for the Monday before Christmas. I got to spend with him... Just us...and David putting down carpet... I want you to know... On the way to the hospital, after I got the news of your passing... I was cring and driving... Jacob said to me... Moy don't be sad... We can still talk to Unkie when we say out prayers at night. God will not mind to share Unkie with us... So now when I go to The Lord in pray... I find myself telling you... Hi and jacob and I love you... You are missed. You will always be in our hearts...

Very sorry to hear about your loss. I remember seeing Morris at our last class reunion at the elks in Robinson. Morris is now pain free. You and your family now have your own guardian angel looking out for you. I will keep your family in my prayers.

He was a vital part of our HHS Class of 1972 with only 30 members in it. I think 1/10 of our class has crossed over now. When we had class reunions, I remember seeing Morris at several of them. The last one was at the Elks' Club in Robinson, IL. There were so few of us there, but we had some good memories to share. We never got together after that as another one of our classmates, who was driven to keep us together, Janet Ridgway Noblitt, had passed away, too. I know Morris is pain-free and once again the old Morris we all knew. He is walking with God now, and one day we will all see him again. I salute you, Morris, as a classmate, a husband, a father, a brother, and a U.S. soldier; I thank you for your service. I pray for your wife, your sons, your siblings and your friends. Know, Morris, that you will be missed.

Morris Allen and I hung out before, during and after school along with weekends too. We graduated high school together (HHS 72' total of 30 classmates). We joined the U.S. Army together; basic training, jump school and assigned to 101st ABN DIV., for next three years. Morris got married and so did I. We each went our separate ways in life but were able to maintain contact. Life doesn't always deal the hand we expect but we learn and grow wiser from our adventures, for God has His plan. I know we'll be soldiering together again some day in God's Army with our Father in Heaven.
