Robert Morrissey Jr.

Robert Morrissey, Jr., known affectionately as Bob to his friends and family, passed away suddenly on February 5, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.
58 years was not enough to have a man like Bob in our world. Bob grew up in Pennsauken and raised his family, alongside his wife, Lisa in Marlton. He was a proud graduate of Pennsauken High School's class of 1983. He was the owner and operator of Morrissey's Auto Repair in Cherry Hill, for 30 dedicated years. It was his passion for automobiles and his community that led him to Rowan University to attain his teaching certificate and Bachelor's degree in Education. He shared his knowledge and skills with the next generation, teaching Auto Shop at Pennsauken High School for over a decade and driving a school bus for the district.
Beyond his professional life, Bob was an active member of the Merchantville Fishing Club, where he served as Treasurer and shared many memorable moments with fellow members. He also volunteered his time and skills with Urban Promise in Camden, NJ, helping to uplift and empower the youth in his community.
Bob's love for his family was unparalleled. He is survived by his beloved wife, Lisa M. Morrissey (nee Kuch), and their children: Albert Morrissey and his wife, Alexandria; Elizabeth and her husband, Andrew Cole; James Morrissey and his fiancée, Haley; and Monica Morrissey. His joy was multiplied with the birth of his granddaughter, Rosemarie Cole. Bob also leaves behind his sisters, Judy Morrissey, Nancy Rice, Cathy Verdone and her husband, Tom, the late Patti Mitchell and her husband, Dave. His uncle, Jack Morrissey and his wife, Janet, his mother-in-law, Marie Kuch, and numerous loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members, especially his cherished in-laws, the Kuch family, will fondly remember Bob.
Bob's interests were a reflection of his love for life. He could often be found surf fishing or on his boat, The Ann Marie, casting a line. Fishing was not just a hobby for Bob; it was a way to connect with his friends and those he loved.
Bob Morrissey, Jr. will be remembered as a man who could fix more than just cars; he had a knack for mending hearts with his warmth and humor. He was the rock of his family, a quietly generous man, and a friend to all. His memory will be cherished and kept alive through the countless stories and acts of kindness he leaves behind.
Bob's spirit will continue to inspire and guide us, just as the ripples from a single cast can spread far and wide across the water's surface. He was a man who taught us that the richness of life is found not in what we have, but in who we are to each other. Together with his family, you are invited to celebrate and remember Bob on Thursday February 15, 2024 from 5:30-8pm at the Bradley Funeral Home 601 Rt. 73 South at Evesham Road, Marlton. His Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday February 16, 2024 at 10:30am at St. Joan of Arc Church, 100 Willow Bend Road, Marlton with his burial to follow.
