Robert Morquecho Obituary

Morquecho, Robert D.
76, an Arizona native, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, January 28, 2017. "Bobby" is preceded in death by his parents, Nieves and Elvira Morquecho. Growing up he learned from his parents that family is first. He lived that belief his whole life. During his high school days, he met the love of his life, Mary. They were married for 54 years. During their marriage, Bobby worked 37 years for the City of Phoenix, served 7 years in the National Guard, regularly attended St. Gregory Catholic Church and never missed any events his children participated in. He loved and was loved in return. He is survived by his wife Mary, children; Donna, Christina, Robert (Fatima) and Richard, grandchildren Andrew and Marcus; they were the sparkle in his eyes. He is also survived by his brothers and sisters: Vera, Nieves, Jr., Lupe, Margo, Rick and Patty, all Arizona natives. He was a blessing to his family and will be missed. Dad, we will always carry your memory in our hearts. Visitation will be from 6:00-8:00 P.M. with a 7:00 PM Rosary, Wednesday, February 1, 2017 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 A.M., Thursday, February 2, 2017 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 909 E. Washington Street, Phoenix. Interment will follow at St. Francis Catholic Cemetery. Vaya con dios nuestro padre.

What a great man and brother-in-law. Bobby made growing up in this family interesting and educational for me. Always giving me advice when I needed it or not. His wisdom and stories will always be in my heart and soul. It was an honor and privilege to have known him. I will never forget you.
God bless you

Dear Mary
I am sorry for your loss, and hope God will help you and your family get through this difficult time. We all love you, and I still remember when Nina said let Lupe drive the car to church.

The memory I will always hold dear is when my "big" brother would share his chocolate chip cookies with me. We would sit in front of the TV and watch whatever he wanted...I was just happy to be sitting next to him sharing those cookies...I love you Bobby...till we meet again.
