First time I met Morty was back in the early to mid 90's at Terre Haute in the infield during warm-ups. My wife Cindy had a Tony Elliot t-shirt on and he came up to me an introduced himself to us as a big Tony Elliot fan. He acted like he knew us his whole life. It was really cool. Seen him many times after that over the years and it was always the same friendliness he displayed the first time we met. Really a cool dude and class act. Hard to believe he's gone. I'd assume he's already up there trading racing stories with Jack Kraemer and Crazy Darryl from Arizona.
R.I.P. my friend.
