Morton's death hits close to home

Posted Jun 10, 2006

But Morton will be most remembered by members of the UNC family for his contributions closer to the center of the state - both as a photographer of UNC sporting events and as a friend to nearly everyone he met. "He was really a bright man who helped the University and helped people, and we'll miss him," said former Tar Heel basketball coach Dean Smith. "But he had a full life at 85. He was special to all of us." (Daily Tar Heel)
