Robert Morrison Jr.

As we mourn the passing of Robert Morrison Jr., of St. James, NY, we remember the love and compassion he showed to his family, friends and community. He was not a man of grand gestures, but more of subtle acts of kindness for which he will always be remembered and cherished.

Bob, as he preferred to be called, died in hospice care on November 21, 2024 at the age of 82, after a battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Carole; children, Wendy Foster (husband Brian) and Rob Morrison (wife Jaime); grandchildren, Delaney and Kelsey Foster; siblings Patricia Fox-Kilday and family and Bruce Morrison and family.

During his lifetime, Bob was an athlete, National Guard reservist, businessman, mentor and coach. But if you were to choose his greatest passion in life, it would be his devotion to his wife, children and most of all his grandchildren, who will eternally miss their papa/pop.

Services will be held at Branch Funeral Home, 190 E. Main Street, Smithtown, NY 11787 Monday, November 25 from 2 pm to 4 pm and 7 pm to 9 pm. A church service for Bob will be held at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Smithtown on Tuesday, November 26 at 10 am. Following the service, he will be buried at St. James Episcopal Cemetery in St. James, NY.
