Robert Willis Morey, Jr. was born on August 23, 1936, in Cleveland, OH. His parents Robert Willis and Elizabeth Brahm Morey settled in Short Hills, NJ, where he attended The Pingry School. He learned horsemanship and marksmanship in the Junior Essex Troop. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy ('54) where he began rowing. At Yale University (BS '58) he stroked the Men's Varsity Eight Oared Crew to a gold medal in the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. The '56 Crew remained lifelong friends and gathered annually before the Harvard/Yale race to row together. In four years at Yale, Robert never lost to Harvard. From the '56 Crew, he is survived by William Becklean, Caldwell Esselstyn and Thomas Charlton.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Dear Maura-
As your former room-mate from Cambridge, I would like to extend my sincere sympathy for your loss. Although I never knew Bob, he must have been a fine man. I hope you are doing well and please do make contact if you are in Boston.
With Love,

I worked for Bob for 25 years and I know I could not have worked for a finer gentleman. He cared for people who worked for him and their families as if everyone was part of his family. Heaven has gained a good man and those left behind have lost a great man.
