Morris Arnold Galter "Morrie" passed on July 10, 2019 after a brief illness. He was a resident of Dallas Texas. Morrie was born January 11, 1926 in Lincoln, Nebraska to Simon and Clara Galter. Morris was a gifted athlete and extremely intelligent. He attended the University of Nebraska, and the Naval Academy. He also attended a university in Missouri. He graduated from The University of Nebraska later with a degree in Chemical Engineering. In the 60's he was accepted by the Mensa International, a high IQ society that has members from all over the world. Working for a chemical company, he traveled the world. He lived in Europe, Hong Kong, and Australia. He eventually came back home to Dallas. He married Nancy "Nan", in 1983. They both shared the love to travel, which they did for many years. During that time, he became a stockbroker, and did that for many years. He finally retired from working when he was eighty-five. He focused on his love for orchids, and bonsai plants, and connecting with his friends. He will be sorely missed by his many friends and family. His sense of humor was spot on, even at the end of his long life. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his wife Nancy Galter. He is survived by his brother, Paul Galter, children, Margaret Ann Davenport, Elizabeth Jane Bolen, Pieter Tirion, and Monique Tirion. A memorial service will be held at St. James Episcopal Church in Dallas at 1 PM on August 29, 2019.
