Hi All, Robert was the definitive Great guy. Always in good mood and someone you could always count on having a positive, fun conversation with. After spending many hours wresting with Robert during practice I have first hand experience on what a tough competitor he was. He was kind of the opposite of me. After all of our many battles he would still be smiling. I don't think I ever smiled at practice. I remember on one of our road trips. I think it was to Michigan. Mr.  Kraft caught Robert out after curfew. He told Robert that he would have  to run 2 miles every day after practice for the next 2 weeks. Robert hated running as much as Marzano did. So on the way home, while we were in one of the University station wagons with Mr. Kraft and Dick Coldron at the wheel. Robert said " Hey Coach, can I start running now/?" Kraft dismissed him with "Yeah sure Robert". Robert started running in place in the back seat saying "Ok Coach I'm running. Let me know when I get my miles in. Even Kraft laughed. 

Robert was my good buddy in my days at Northwestern University from 1974 to 1978. We were also teammates on the wrestling team.  There was never a dull moment with Robert around. He was always full of jokes and pranks. I'll miss my good friend forever and I think I speak for the entire wrestling team and other friends of his from Northwestern when I say we were all better off for having known Robert. RIP Man.

I will miss your positive words of wisdom.  My condolences goes to the Morrison family. Thank you Robert, me AmiGo, for the great times and memories.  LoVE YoU ALwAyS, RaFi..

My brother from another mother I will miss you I will keep praying for your family I know you’re in a better place I love you my Derrik

To the Morrison family, 

Robert was one of the main reasons I stayed with Allstate.  We had many personal conversations over the last 24 years and I'm GREATLY saddened to learn of his passing.

Please God watch over Roberts family and give them the strength to deal with this terrible situation.   In God's name,  Amen!

I'll miss you Robert Morrison!!

Sadly, but thankful for his friendship!

From the frito man Carlos moreno 

I was just a little girl watching Robert teach wrestling with my dad (Victor Palomo).  He was always a lovingly motivational person. We love you and miss you, Coach Morrison.

First and foremost, in behalf of our whole family our condolences to the Morrison Family.
Robert, I'm going to miss you, you were more than my Insurance Agent, you were a friend, someone I could rely on for advise on business, and personal matters, someone I trusted.
We were supposed to be going to go eat together to Louisiana Famous Chicken, but now you aren't here.
You always made me feel important, and I could brag that I was one of your first customers.
When I was recuperating from my Liver transplant, one of my daughters was taking care of my finances, she came up to me one day and informed me I could save money if I switched Insurance companies, i told her that  money isn't that important, that relationships were more important than money, so I told her how we met back in the mid 80's, I was fixing to start my life as a married man and no one would insure me , I had three accidents in less than three months, driving a sports car, yet you trusted me when no one else did, as my family started to grow you were there every step of the way, ensuring that my family would be covered  in case something happened to me, when I bought my house you were there for me for advise me, when I needed Life Insurance you were there for us, as my four children grew and started to drive , you were there for us, when my father passed away you were there for me with your wisdom and encouraging words, when I encountered financial problems you were there for us with sound advise, my daughter now understood that what you did for our family was priceless, and that there weren't that many people I could trust and call friends and that i was fortunate  to call you friend.
I will sorely miss you Robert, God be with you my friend !
You will not die because you are in our hearts yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever.

Yolanda and Family,

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
A Fallen Limb

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says,
“Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived
while I was strong.
Continue my heritage,
I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely
the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease,
my soul is at rest.
Remembering all,
how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions,
no matter how small.
Go on with your life,
don’t worry about falls.
I miss you all dearly,
so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes
we’re together again.”

With All Our Love,
St. Paul UMC

God’s Peace to you my friend. And deepest condolences to your family. Our hearts are heavy today. Prayers to all.

Rest in peace dear cousin.  You are now safe in the arms of Jesus.  Hearts sre heavy because you will be miss.  

My condolences to the Morrison family on the passing of their loved one. I remember my former classmate Robert as a friendly, outgoing young man, a competent athlete, and a great dancer.  Many times I watched him jam on the dance floor at the local Discotheque.  He was among the favorite people in the class of ‘73 because of his kind, and friendly demeanor. RIH Heaven brother.  Your former classmates got it from here. 💖
