January 14, 2016 at 11:48 pmBob was my fathers best friend when I was a child. We (my family) spent many nights at his house while he and my father raced dirt bikes and go carts. I remember so many things about him and know he will be missed. Our prayers and love to his family from the Metler family.

January 16, 2016 at 3:54 amMy thoughts and prayers go out to Bob’s entire family. Robert Morris was my father’s friend,his cohort in many business schemes. I have many fond memories as a child of him ,and aunt Bev loading us up into a car for the drive in movies,car trips to Minnesota. The women and kids in one car and the men in another. I read my first play boy forum and later he teased me about spending too much time in the bathroom where he kept them.When a small child we all lived together in California and later here on the farm outside of Mason until he moved to Lansing. He gave me my first ride on a motorcycle and he was instrumental in founding the Jack Pine Motorcycle club.He was a brother inlaw to my mother and a good uncle to my brother and me. The last time I saw him at my grandmothers funeral he told me he would always be my uncle.Rest in peace Uncle Bob!
