Mori was a groomsman at my wedding. I knew and even lived with Mori in the 1960’s. He was a dear friend and I am truly sorry to hear of his passing.
My condolences to the ohana. Mori was my mom’s all time favorite person at Macy’s. He was always so kind, helpful and ALWAYS had a smile. My mom is no longer here on earth as well but I know she will be so happy to see Mori up in Heaven. Thank you for sharing Mori with our community ❤️
Our deepest sympathy to "Mori's" family and friends.
Like many in the community, I met Mori while I was shopping at Macy's. He was always friendly, kind, and helpful to my wife and me. Since I also worked at the mall at the time, I would often stop through and visit with him, talking story about our days. Eventually, after I left my job, I would come to Macy's just to talk and see how things were going. He was always filled with aloha and never hesitated to help. It hits me hard to think that I won't be able to talk with him again, but I am glad that I got to know him. He will truly be missed.
Thank you Mori for the memories.it was nice working with you at Liberty House/Macy’s you was the best.May you Rest In Peace until we meet again.
For most of Mori's thirty years at Liberty House and then Macy's Windward Mall, we shopped in his departments and were always impressed with his kindness, efficiency, knowledge. For a while he managed Liberty House's "Attic," where discontinued items were sold at a bargain. He seemed to genuinely enjoy providing exceptional customer service. And he love Hawaii, particularly the North Shore (Hauula). We miss him when we shop at Macy's.
Dear Mori Beddoes' family,
I am grateful to have met Mori at Liberty House/Macy's at Windward Mall. He was always friendly, helpful, courteous. He was never in-your-face. He was always doing something on the floor, occasionally helping more than one person. He would always say I'll help you when I am free and he did. He would let you browse to your heart's content, even if you didn't purchase anything. He was always a gentleman. He has a beautiful, happy, and contented spirit. I am glad to have met him.
Sincerely,
D Shimata (a very satisfied customer)
To the family of Mori,
I used to work with Mori at Liberty House then. He worked in the housewares section and I in the cashiers office. When he was working it was just so much fun! Mori was just so easy to like and it was like you knew him forever. Every time I shopped at Windward , coming from Mililani, I always stopped to see him, if he was working , to say hi and talk story. I think he got to know my family who visited from the mainland too! I will miss him and his contagious smile! Aloha 🌺 PK
I have known Mori since 1990 when he was the Manager at Liberty House Off Rack store which was a separate unit from the main store. He was always so cheerful and exceedingly helpful. Then, I was a parttime salesclerk at Liberty House and had the opportunity to chat with Mori frequently. He would always talk about his plants and landscaping at his Punaluu home. He was obviously proud of his efforts. Mori was "Mr. Aloha" and I shall miss our chats while shopping at Macy's. I would make a point of seeking him out when I wanted something in the Domestics department. My condolences to his family. I shall miss his upbeat attitude.
