Robert (Bob) C. Morris III.
Bob was born to Robert C. Morris Jr and Patrica Romsa Morris on March 9,1949. On March 2nd, while surrounded by his loving family, Bob lost his courageous battle due to complications from COPD. Due to the knowledgeable Doctors from Great Falls (Dr. Mazur & Dr Castriz) we were able to have Bob in our life’s for several more years. Bob’s dad was in the Air Force allowing him to live in many different places but ultimately landing him in the Flathead Valley. He graduated from Big Fork High School and continued his education with a degree in Social Work from Missoula and Bozeman. He started out working as a fire fighter for the Forest Service until he started his career at MDC in Boulder in 1975. Where he met the love of his life Noreen Messick and they were married on July 6,1981. He adopted her two girls from a previous marriage, he treated the girls as if they were his own. They welcomed a son on March 16, 1984.
Bob really enjoyed working with Developmentally Disabled adults. After his retirement he coached the wolfs Special Olympics team. He was very disappointed when he had to stop coaching due to his health.
Bob was a proud organ donor and there is now someone out there who can see thanks to the donation of his corneas.
