At the South Windsor Public Library Sports Bob will go down as one of our most memorable patrons. I will miss hearing "Hello, my friend!" on Thursday evenings.

Bob Morris has been a friend for nearly forty years. Although we met in person only a few times, our frequent phone conversations created a bond as strong as you might have with a wonderful neighbor. He teased me about being a bit older, but he always kindly checked on the well-being of my co-workers and family, and he remembered every significant event in our lives. (My daughter had the good luck to be born on the day he attended that Flyers game in person!) His interest in sports and music led him to become our public library's most frequent and reliable "telephone patron;" his calls graciously started with "Is this a good time? Can you look up....?" We learned from each other and shared the observations and insights any good neighbor would provide. Please extend my condolences to the whole Morris family. Bob will be missed.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Bob's passing. Over the course of more than 28 years, he carved out a special place in the hearts of area librarians. What began as discussions about hockey scores evolved into conversations on a wide range of topics. His presence will be greatly missed. Our condolences to the family.
