Robert Cameron Morris

It is with extreme grief we announce the passing of Robert Cameron Morris,82, of Arlington, Texas on February 7, 2020.

In high school he was recruited to play piano with Harry Winters Band and continued to do so throughout high school, college and for several years afterward. He also played the upright bass because he said it was easier to get it into the car than the piano when they played "gigs". He also played clarinet. For over 20 years he had a standing date to play tennis with his friend C. J. They won two trophies in tennis doubles. Also a great fun time was had playing poker twice a month with the same guys for 30 plus years. Bob was always the gracious host, even when he lost! He said it was called "The Redistribution of the Wealth."
