Dr. Robert G. Morris III, COL (R)

What a wonderful way to have lived a life.our paths crossed infrequently as adults but the conversations were always warm

Bob and I served together with the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, KY and later with III (US) Corps Artillery at Fort Sill, OK. Bob was an outstanding soldier and a very good man with a world class family to support him and his professional endeavors. I and my family, Linda, Leanne, and Julie are so very honored that he found us worthy of his friendship and affection. Air Assault, Colonel Bob! Huzzah!

Bobby was the best friend anyone could have. He was my best friend. For 20 years we talked at least once a week....no matter where we were. His love, kindness, warmth and compassion exceeded beyond time and space. I miss him every day. We spent our time laughing, reminiscing, eating, and praying. His coworkers, friends, and especially his students gained from his wealth of knowledge and experience. This is a major loss to all of us at Wayland. I miss him every day.

I was a lieutenant who served with COL Morris in 2-18FA in the 1990s. I joined the battalion when they were already deployed during Desert Shield. COL Morris was the first person I met when I joined the unit in the desert and he inspired me with his confidence and presence. Just before the ground war started he promoted me to Captain and we celebrated with the candy from boxes of MREs. I remember him as an old car lover, devoted father and husband and an energetic leader. I am inspired and impressed with all the great accomplishments and acts of service and kindness he did after his military service. It is obvious that Robert G. Morris led a meaningful life. My wife and I offer our condolences to the family and peace upon his soul. Sincerely, John & Theresa Sims

If strength in a man comes from love of God, love of family, intelligence, kindness, generosity, compassion and the desire to be one's best self, then he was one of the strongest people I know♡ All our love Diana Adler and Danny

Always a soldier!

Good days at the "X"

On behalf of Ife and I, I want to express our condolences. We send you and the Morris family our love, strength and support. BG's transition to Glory leaves a hole in our hearts - yet we hope and pray that in the passage of time that God grant his loving wife, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends His grace, comfort, and peace.

BG, from Joel and I no matter the distance, we're always brothers. LJ
Major (U.S. Army, Ret; PMC '71)

My sincere condolences to you and the family with love.

May joyful memories sustain you during this trying time.

"Gone from our sight, but never our memories - Gone from our touch but never our hearts."
May your soul rest in eternal peace...

Fellow PMC Cadet, US Army Officer and friend. BG, as he came to be known to his friends, was a friend upon who one could depend in all situations. A man of integrity, wisdom and humor. Rest in the hands of your loving savior til we meet again.

Colonel (Dr.) Bob Morris (I know he would want it termed that way) was my classmate at Pennsylvania Military College, fellow soldier, and great friend since 1966. It saddens me to know that we have lost a great and principled and cherished friend. The sad news brought to mind the words of an unknown philosopher who wrote that "When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost; something is lost and when character & integrity is lost all is lost." Bege never ever lost his character & integrity. God bless you Bege you always shared that last one with everyone who remembers you.

Dr Morris was a mentor that really cared about his students at Wayland Baptist University. I was very glad to be in his class. He helped me pick a final writing topic that I struggled with. I may build upon later thanks to him. He inspired and cared. He also taught my older brother at the Sierra Vista, AZ campus. We are both very grateful to him. I pray for all of his family.

Bob #382 and I were fellow 'rooks' in Bravo Company during the 1966-67 academic-year at The Pennsylvania Military College. Every Sunday morning, Bob, 6 of of our fellow cadet classmates and I would 'march' in uniform, actually in the streets of Chester in order to attend the 11:00 A.M. Worship Service at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. One of my academic-majors was English; therefore, I shared a few English classes with Bob while we were cadets from 1966 to 1970, when both of us were Commissioned Lieutenants in the United States Army. Our careers and career-paths were very different; therefore, we did not reconnect until a few years ago, when our cadet class mates and I were preparing for our 50-Year Class Reunion in 2020. On multiple occasions between 2018 and 2022, Bob and I chatted on the telephone at great length and on multiple occasions because both of us were antique motor car-enthusiasts, in general, and Packard-owners, in particular. Hopefully, Our Almighty God will grant Bob the gift of Eternal Life together with the gift of peaceful serenity to his family, who now mourn his passing. LTC(R) John E. N. Blair, J.D. #51, Pennsylvania Military College Class of 1970

May your memory be for a blessing and may you rest in peace my friend.
Pennsylvania Military College class of 70.

I fondly recall my four year association with B.G. during our time at Pennsylvania Military College. He was a true military man who worked hard to achieve his goals both academically and as a cadet striving for an Army commission. I was fortunate to reconnect with Bob within the last three years and to see him participate by video conference in our Class´ 50th reunion. RIP.

A true gentleman and outstanding senior cadet leader at Pennsylvania Military College. We may not see his caliber of man again. Breck Cook PMC Class "72"

I remember him well from PMC. As one of his "Rooks", he trained us well and disciplined us whenever needed. BG was the first Upperclassmen who chewed me out on my first day there. I'm sorry and very sad he is gone and my deepest sympathy to his family.
Scott McGinnis PMC '72

"BG" and I were classmates at Pennsylvania Military College from 1966-1970. He was an outstanding cadet leader and first rate person. I recently had a chance to speak to him and other classmates at a Zoom reunion and observe him (with other classmates) recall our years together during our 50th Class reunion on campus. Reading his obituary, his personal and professional trajectory continued to soar, filled with accomplishments as well as concern for others throughout his life. "BG" made a difference. RIP.

May the Good Lord receive our brother with open arms and may his family and friends be granted comfort and peace. Phil Lewis, MD, MPH PMC Class '72

A one of a kind, stand up man. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to work with & know you. I'm a better person because of you. Thank you for all the peace & joy that you have instilled in me! Rest in peace, soldier. I love you always, BM!

Always a protector. The world feels less safe without you though you are always there to protect us. You are missed.

Remembering BG for his generous heart, his service to his country and his kindness and care to my parents, John and Barbara Morris. Your memory is a blessing, BG.

“Celebrating Unconditional Love!”

I love you Daddy ❤

Phyllis Davis M Moore and I were best friends growing up in Philadelphia. When BG was born, Phyllis honored me when she asked that I serve as Godmother to her first born. Through the years, we shared a special relationship. He made me laugh. He made me feel better. And when the pandemic forced us to be housebound, BG continued to shower me with his virtual touches. We talked about movies, cars, his beautiful wife and children, his brother Snuffy, his parents Phyllis and Bob, the "old days", and his military endeavors. We were looking forward to seeing Patty and BG this Fall as they planned a trip East. I miss him dearly. This was a tough and painful loss. But I have many incredible, beautiful, lovely memories to keep my heart filled. He was a good and generous man., A kind man. A person of unwavering service to his country. And the best Godson I could ever wish for. Family, our hearts and prayers are with you. Sending Love to you, Aunt Lois McDaniel

I had the honor of knowing Col Dr Bobby, as I fondly called him, when he and Patty resided in the Phoenix, AZ area. He was quite the gentleman and a wonderful story teller. I enjoyed talking sports cars with him. God speed Col Dr.
