A true gentleman! He leaves many friends and fans on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I and my sons cherish his carvings and the fond memories of his visits to the Waterfowl Festival. Please accept our condolences. Bill & Becky Wieland

This expression of sympathy is not nearly enough to describe the loss of Mort, my sincere friend and all around good guy.
Meeting artists from everywhere at art shows, visiting the east coast, fishing in the mountains of Colorado, meeting the wonderful Fadum family, and the beautiful friendship that we had are memories that I will never forget.
Farewell, my friend. I've been beyond fortunate to know you.

So hard to find the right words, although they would have just rolled off your tongue or pencil. My Father taught me to be a Man. You taught me to be the man I want to be, although I'm still learning. Never have I known such patience and kindness, along with such talent and wisdom. A true friend, a true Man......A true privilege to call you my friend. I look forward to crossing paths and planning an adventure with you again my friend, I'll miss your wisdom and kindness
