Peter Morrow Obituary
Pete was a salty character with a genuinely huge heart. He had a deep love for his hometown, always residing within a mile of the beach. Pete had a special passion for cars and boats, but above all, cherished his wife, Bobbie (Barbara), whom he kept on her toes and adored for 47 years! Pete was a Life member of the Prowlers Car Club and the San Diego Yacht Club.
In addition to his wife, Bobbie, Pete is survived by his two daughters, Lori and Alison, as well as his three grandchildren, Alicia, Tamaryn, and Gabriel. He also leaves behind one great grandson, Daemon. Pete's parents, Coach Dewey James "Mike" Morrow and Alice Lane Morrow, preceded him in death.
Pete spent his career in his second home, the marine hardware business. He dedicated his life to sharing his vast knowledge with his customers and teaching the new employees the ropes, working at Nuttall-Styris Co., Kettenburg Marine, and most notably San Diego Marine Exchange on Shelter Island.
A Celebration of Life in honor of Pete Morrow will be held on Wednesday, August 30, 2023, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at the San Diego Yacht Club, located at 1101 Anchorage Lane. This gathering will serve as an opportunity for friends and family to come together and share their memories of Pete.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to any animal rescue charity of your choice or to Sharp HospiceCare at www.sharp.com/inmemoryof

Pete Morrow will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. His legacy as a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather and friend will forever live on in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

There should be more Pete Morrows in this world. He supercharged my teenage years and left me with a bundle of indelible memories of how joyful life can be. Though we are all unique, Pete was special. He had a big heart. In many ways we were kindred souls, looking to find our way in an indeterminate world.
You will not be forgotten, my friend. You touched a lot of lives. May you rest in peace forevermore.

Thank You Bobbie I will plan on being there. I am not sure when I met Pete, I believe it was before we worked together at Kettenburg Marine when I started work there part time while working my way through college along with Richard Lenyk and several other Point Loma locals. I do remember my Dad, Richard Hage Lynch saying that his Dad "Mike Morrow had been my Dads coach at San Diego High School. As I remember, I helped him get into SDYC as a reference many, many years ago. Yes he will be missed by many, many good people ! Do you mind if I pass this info on to mutual friends from the mostly Marine Industry ? My he rest in Peace in Heaven with other friends and family that have passed on. ! Sincerely; Lonnie Lynch
