To the Editor:

(The following letter has been received for publication in The Newtown Bee.)

Dear Friends,

As many of you know I closed my store in February of this year. I loved owning a small business in Newtown for 29 years, and it was an honor and privilege to serve this community. I was blessed to get to know so many wonderful people and to help you with your home improvement needs. Painters and homeowners have become lifelong friends.

Thank you for your patronage, friendship and loyalty throughout the years. The Newtown community has always been friendly and staunchly loyal to its small businesses and for that I am so grateful.

I will miss all of you. God bless you all, and again, thank you.

Tim Morris

Owner, Newtown Color Center
