His story began on June 6, 1933, at St Joseph Hospital, Fort Worth, Texas. He was born to Eva Dillingham Amidei and Eneas Maurice "Doc" Amidei.

He practiced law from 1958 until 1995, becoming a Justice on the 14th Court of Appeals in 1995, in a landslide win. He met his dream girl, Sara Ann Bryan, at the Tarrant County Courthouse. They were married six months later on September 18, 1959. Maurice and Sara reared 3 children. Maurice was a fantastic dancer, from Latin dances to the Fox Trot. He and Sara danced their way through 58 wonderful years of marriage. Loved ones who have gone ahead of Maurice include his mother, Eva, his father, Eneas, his beloved Aunt Iva, Uncle Walter, Uncle Reep (who led him to Christ), his cousin, Lorraine Bechaver, and many more aunts, uncles and cousins. Those who love him and will carry on his memory include his wife, Sara (nee Bryan), his children, April Dancer (Stuart), Tony Amidei (Beth), and Angela Dunn (Jonathan); his sister, Sylvia Naslund (Arvid), his niece, Patti (Kerry), his nephew, Chuck, and 9 grandchildren.
