Our sympathies to the Balinson family on the loss of husband, father and grandfather.
Morley was an outstanding Canadian citizen who participate in activities providing safety to his fellow Canadian citizens.
I was saddened to hear of Cousin Morley’s death. My condolences to the Balinson family and special message for Goldie who has lost her brother. I hadn’t seen Morley in quite a number of years but remember him as a very pleasant and lovely gentleman. I have wonderful memories of the Balinson family starting with Morley’s late mother Sarah of blessed memory, his brothers , also of blessed memory,Bob..who delivered me into this world and his brother Norman Victor who had been my family doctor for years during my youth until he moved to the U.S. and returned to school to become a psychatrist and relocated to New York and then California. He was my favourite doctor of all time and all of the Balinsons that had touched my life will always have a special place in my heart.
Cousin Janice Garshowitz Lebow
Goldie, Joan and Balinson Family:
I was sad to learn of cousin Morley’s death. It had been a long time since I last saw him and I always felt him to be a pleasant and lovely gentleman. May your memories sustain you during your grief and for a long time afterwards. There is no mention of a shiva but I will call you, Goldie, soon please G-d. May you be comforted with all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and know no more sorrow.
