Robert Morton Obituary
LIMA -- Robert ("Bob") Eugene Morton, aged 76, died on March 11, 2025, in Lima, Ohio. Robert was born in Lima, Ohio, in 1948, and was a 1966 graduate of Lima Senior High School. In 1967 he was married to his wife Ruthann ("Robin") O'Black who survives him.
He served in the United States Army and was stationed in Germany. He was honorably discharged in 1970. Robert had a long and successful career as a skilled tradesman at Teledyne Ohio Steel, at the U.S. Army Tank Plant, and at Cooper Tire and Rubber. He retired in 2010, and enjoyed restoring classic cars and attending car shows during his retirement. He owned several dogs in later life, and cared for them deeply.
In addition to his wife Robin, he is survived by two sons: Eric (Shelly) Morton of Duluth, Georgia, and David Morton of Lima. He is also survived by his brother Earl (Jackie) Morton of Cridersville, Ohio, and by two step sisters: Sharon Schoonover of Lima, and Jackie Coon of Cridersville.
He will be interred at the Dayton National Cemetery at a future date, and a private family ceremony will be held at that time.

Remember riding on the bicycle built for two you built and going what seemed like 200 mph on sugar street and Fairview ave.

Bob was a dear uncle. He was a unique person in his own ways. I will always remember his easy laugh and the playful twinkle he had in his eyes. He had a passion for cars and he helped me obtain my first one when I was 17 yrs old. The car helped me with friends and have a happier life. He always had a cheerful attitude. His spirit will live on.
