Community Losses

The town of Delmar, Maryland & Delaware lost a great friend and citizen. The Delmar Fire Dept. today lay to rest Kevin Morris. I personally did not know Kevin but I am aware of his contributions to the Delmar Fire Dept and the community as a whole. I also am familiar with his family. The Morris family has a long tradition of service with the Delmar Fire Dept. and there is every indication that tradition will continue for years to come. Rest in Peace Kevin. Walk with God and be blessed.

Another leader familiar to the Town of Princess Anne and to the Campus of U.M.E.S passed away recently.
I met Dr. Hytche several years ago when the fire-training center on the campus was being planned. I have never met a kinder,more pleasant individual in my life. It took but a few minutes of conversation with him to realize you were in the presence of a gentleman. A man whose demeanor demanded respect, but his personality was such that he returned thrice fold what he deserved. He shall be missed.

Dr. William P. Hytche’s service will on Thursday at 11:00 am.
The service will be held in the Ella Fitzgerald Center on the U.M.E.S. campus. It is fitting that the service be held on the campus Dr Hytche so dearly loved.

I did know Kevin Morris. We grew up in Delmar and graduated from Delmar High School in 1972. Kevin was a loving son, great father and a good friend. He had been ill for some time and never ever gave up. Kevin was about the most determined person I have ever know. You are right, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
