theweaselkingCentenarian Janitor who worked at University of Great Falls leaves them 2.3 million dollars in his will.
Genesio Morlacci died on Halloween at the age of 102.
Morlacci, a former dry cleaner, owned Sun Cleaners for several years before selling his business and going to work as a janitor at UGF.
"He only had a third-grade education, but he knew his numbers," said Morlacci's longtime friend Bill Foy. "He wasn't afraid to work hard."
Morlacci and his late wife always lived frugally, Foy said. "He patched the patches on his pants and turned the collars on his shirts."
A native of Italy, Morlacci directed that 95 percent of the money go to scholarships. The university can choose how to spend the remainder.
