My
beloved husband, Tom Davis “Mort” Morton, age 68, passed away
January 5, 2011, in Bradenton, Florida, after a short battle
with pancreatic cancer. He was a loving and generous husband,
father and grandfather.

his CPA exam in 1973 and received his MBA from Oklahoma City
University (with honors) in 1984. He worked for several small
companies before working for Halliburton, Duncan, Oklahoma.
During his tenure with Halliburton he worked in several foreign
countries: Mexico, Algeria and Brazil. He loved the adventures
and enjoyed eating the local cusine; seeing all the different
sights and just doing local activities.
