Robert Morris Obituary

Robert (Zeke) Morris, age 74, of Loves Park, Ill., left this world as he lived in it, conscious of God, and at peace, surrounded by family at his home on Tuesday, November 27, 2007. He departed to join his beloved mother, Lucelia; and faithful companion, Casey. Robert retired from Elco/Textron Industries in 1997. He was born on December 2, 1932 and grew up on the Stoddard/Hatton family farms in Bainbridge, N.Y. He joined and honorably served in the U.S. Army. He truly enjoyed the journey of life and is survived by his wife of over thirty years, Susan M. Morris. Robert is survived by his children, Judy (Fred) Martinez, Candor, N.Y., Kathy (Craig) Sebring, Valdosta, Ga., Robert (Mary) Morris, Avon, N.Y., James Morris, Attalla, Ala.; six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; his sister, Norma (Ed) Sincavage, Ocean Springs, Miss.; the one whom he considered his brother, Donald (Phyllis) Hatton, Coventry, N.Y.; his mother and father-in-law, Stephen (Peggy) Steele, Palm Coast, Fla.; his sisters-in-law, Lynn (Chris) Hale, Norfolk, Va., Nancy (Daniel) Harrington, Greene, N.Y.; a niece and several nephews. Robert treasured his many friends, neighbors and co-workers who knew and enjoyed his sense of humor and his wealth of life's stories.

We are all blessed to have had such a wonderful Grandpa - tough, but loving and always ready and willing to laugh. I am ever conscious of meeting his expectations of what a "Young Lady" should be - maybe I won't always be young, but hopefully always a Lady in his eyes.
You should know that the best gift we could have ever received from him, Susie, was you. For that I am truly thankful.
Neil and I are so sorry we couldn't be with everyone in Rockford this weekend, but we are looking forward to seeing you in NY. We will all miss him, always. Love, Makaylia & Neil
