Mr. Morton cared so deeply for each of his students. He was my 4th grade reading teacher at Gateway and I've never forgotten him. He went out of his way to counsel me when he saw me struggling with personal matters, and offered a hug when he found me crying. I've never met a more genuine or kind person. And I'll never forget the laugh in his eyes when he pointed out I'd forgotten the T in his name on an assignment. He was a great man.

I have vivid memories of Mr.Morton's English classes back in Gateway Charter. Though that was a long time ago, the positive effects he had on all of us continue as a legacy of loving literature and embracing curiosity. With a passion for reading, talent with educating, and a wonderful sense of humor, the experience he provided to those he taught cannot be overstated. Even now I remember him telling us a small, endearing joke with a wry smile: when he grew up, he one day hoped to become an elephant. That has always stuck with me.

I worked with Wayne at Gateway Charter School in Ft. Myers. he was always a blast to visit throughout the day. We taught 4th grade together. I will truly miss him and the talks we would have over Skype. I wondered what happened when he didn't call me for a month. I just thought he was moving again.

I worked with Wayne at Lanna International School Thailand many years ago now. He was a gentleman.  I suspect that Lanna's reputation as the friendliest school in Chiang Mai is down to Wayne. He leaves a legacy that touched lives.

Wayne was a loving and caring teacher and principle. His reading of "We're Going On A Bear Hunt" has stayed with me for many years. It was a pleasure working with him at Lanna International School Thailand.

There are few people you come across for a short period of life that can make such an impact on you. I had the honor to work with Wayne for 1 year in Thailand and he truly taught me lessons I have carried with me through life. I only hope he smiles down on all the lives he's touched and see his great accomplishments! 
My sincere condolences to his family!

I was so fortunate to work with and for Wayne at Lanna International School in Chaing Mai, Thailand.His leadership was superb, dignified, subtle and personal.  He has kept in touch with me and my two daughters over the years as we have both moved around the world to different countries. The world has lost a true educator and gentleman, who has influenced the lives of everyone he has ever met.  Pauline Kirkpatrick, Natalie and Michelle

People do many good things but some leave an impression in their work and on the lives of people and that's what Mr. Morton did on the lives of Children and co workers. Miss you Mr. Morton:'(
