A great, kind man. Great family man, civil servant and lover of his community.
Terribly saddened by this loss. Proud to have known Jim and to have called him a friend. He was such an impactful, kind and decent man. He loved our City and State. He loved his family, friends, and this country. He was a man of service and unselfish dedication to others especially those less fortunate. We have lost a great man.
Agreed! He was one of the last holdovers of servant leaders from that generation that propelled the City from Naptown to a city that could punch above its weight, in spite of our geographical and other limitations. RIP Jim, job well done!
A great community leader and mentor to countless people, not just in Indianapolis, but across the country and around the world. RIP, and job well done.
Almighty oak has fallen.
We have lost a GIANT and his impact on our City will never never be forgotten.
Jim was always gracious and willing to assist in doing good for Indianapolis and the World. I was honored to have him as a mentor and friend. Jim taught me “that when you do good for the community you do good for your leave the a legacy of honor.” Jim’s finger prints are all over Indianapolis. RIP Jim, you will continue to be honored.
Jim was a sui generis blend of knowledge, kindness, generosity, positivity and pragmatism. Indianapolis, Indiana, and the world, have all benefited from his life and work among us.
Jim was a leader, a humanitarian and a great man. Every time I saw him at a community event, or in his office- I learned something valuable and I left wanting more.
I especially enjoyed learing about his time leading the World Food Program- The lesson: Saving the world is really hard work.
The fact that we chose different political parties was never an issue. We both wanted to make things “better” and we enjoyed talking through the best ways to do so. The lesson: Judge people by who they are what they do and how they treat others- not by any label starting with either “R” or “D”.
The last time I was in touch with Jim he suugested that we “get together soon”- and now its too late. Today I am filled with regret. The lesson: When offered an opportunity for wisdom and insight and inspiration- don’t hesitate- take it -as soon as you can- it may have an expiration date.
Very few people have the impact on a City, University and State as Jim He set the structure that will last for generations Jim’s leadership style should be a model for everyone in a world that needs leadership. He will be missed.
I often talk with my kids about the great leaders we had in Indy during the 1970’s -2000 These men had vision for our city. Jim Morris was right at the top. I can remember the days Indpls downtown was dark by 7pm
Thanks Jim Morris and others for making this city First Class! You swill be missed.
