I was shocked and distressed to learn of the death of Steve Morse. I want to thank the Star-Advertiser for the wonderful obituary on Sunday; Steve truly deserved it. I first met Steve when I was a professor in the University of Hawaii School of Social Work and he was a student there in the 1970s.
As it so happened, another student, a friend of Steve’s, was getting married and, as an ordained minister, I offered to perform the ceremony. Without being asked, Steve wrote an absolutely beautiful poem for the wedding, which I read as part of the ceremony. The poem not only celebrated the wedding, but set it in our glorious Hawaii. I have read it in every one of the many marriage ceremonies I have performed over the years.
I am writing this letter to underscore the incredible, wide-ranging talents of this great man. He truly will be missed.
