richard draper wrote a sympathy message

“How fortunate I was to work alongside Mo Banks during 1980's reporting for KOIN-TV (CBS) in Portland. On assignment boards he was listed as photographer and I as reporter—but in practice, he was often the better reporter, as good photographers often are. His empathy, insight into human behavior, and fearlessness served us—and our viewers—exceptionally well. Great guy. Dear friend. No space for more. Heartfelt condolences & respects to Jan, Justin & Jason...fondly remembered from Portland days.”
