BOBBY DON MORRIS

MORRIS, BOBBY DON Bobby Don Morris was born on March 2, 1934 in Vernon, TX. He moved to San Diego when he was seven. He graduated from Kearny High School, Class of 1952, where he met his wife, Betty Jo. They would have been married 55 years, October 28th. Bobby served in the Army Reserves and National Guard for 40 years, spanning the Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf wars. He achieved the rank of Lt. Colonel. Bobby enjoyed hunting, fishing, and hiking in the High Sierras and the deserts of California. He also loved the fall, when football season was in full swing. He was a faithful Aztec fan! Bobby loved spending time with his family. He is survived by his loving wife, Betty Jo, his two daughters, Barbara Jean and Margie Eileen, son-in-law, Robert Fish, sisters-in-law Priscilla Morris and Gail Knight, brother-in-law Morris Knight, and five grandchildren, Moriah Sandy, Jacob Sandy, Michaela Sandy, Gregory Fish, and Bobby Fish, in addition to many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Bobby died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, September 28th, while camping with his wife Betty in Lone Pine. The campsite was at the base of Mt. Whitney, where he and Betty had hiked, and next to a pristine lake and a flower-filled meadow with roaming wild horses. Next to him was the woman he loved; his favorite dog Peaches was at his feet. In his words, "a good death." A full military service will be held on Wednesday, November 24th, at 2 p.m. at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma. A reception/wake will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The San Diego State Aztec Club, 5300 Campanile Dr., San Diego, CA 92182-4313.
