Robert Morris

Robert Morris, 81, of Burdett, NY, passed away on October 30, 2026. He was born on February 13, 1945, in Buffalo, New York, and stayed close to his Western New York roots throughout his life. He attended the University at Buffalo, where he began his career as an engineer.

Robert had the mind of an engineer and the drive of an entrepreneur. He built and ran his own manufacturing business for many decades. Along the way he was named as the inventor on many patents, wrote many technical papers, and was often asked to serve as an expert witness. He was a distinguished expert in his profession, and his judgment commanded the utmost respect among his peers.

His home on Seneca Lake was a special place for his family. They will always treasure the time they spent there with him.

Robert is survived by his best friend, Lila Meyers; his sons, Stephen and Robert Morris; and his two grandsons and his granddaughter. He will be deeply missed.

There will be no services at this time.
