Pays tribute to his public service and grace

MEMPHIS - Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) mourned the death of longtime Memphis civic leader Jack Morris, who died Friday at 87. He released the following statement:

"I met Jack Morris during the Stan Snodgrass for governor race in 1970 and learned a lot from him over the years. He always seemed to have an ear and occasionally a bit of advice and encouragement for me.

"I want to thank his family for his service to Memphis and for the friendship he extended to me. His was a life of civic commitment and grace.

"I extend my sympathies to his delightful wife Jane and his children, their spouses and his grandchildren. His was a life well lived."
