I found out about Bobby's passing as I was doing a search for old friends I had lost contact with.  You have my deepest condolences.  Bobby and I were together in Viet  Nam, we shared the same hootch for the better part of a year, more than that he was my best friend, we went on R&R together and kept each other sane.  I regret not making contact with him before his passing.  Please know that my prayers are with you.

I found out today of Bobby's passing, via a beautiful note from Edna. Bobby and I were best buddies in the Army.  We bunked side by side for over a year.  We kept touch at least once a year and visited once on one of his vacations out West.  What I remember most about him was his devotion to Edna, way back to the late 1960's. He would tell me about her and his plans for the two of them. All of them came true, and then some.  He is, waiting for her, telling those in heaven the same stories I heard. I'm crushed and pray for all of those around him who miss him, beyond my imagination.  See you at the end of my journey, buddy.     Ginger & Lou Palma, Nevada and Texas

Thinking of you,Edna,and your family. You are surrounded by their love.
Prayers for strength and comfort.
My heart is with you.   Jan Hickey

As a Program Manager at Bettis, I had the great privilege of working with Bobby on a number of projects over the years.  No matter the situation, Bobby could always be counted on to provide sound wisdom and guidance, while always remaining the gentleman.  It was my honor to count Bobby as a friend.  My prayers are with Bobby's family for comfort and strength.  May God watch over each of you during this time of sadness and grief.

I am truly saddened by Bobby's passing.  He was a good friend, and one of the best individuals that I ever met in my life and that ever worked at Babcock & Wilcox/BWX Technologies.   He was a great person and certainly someone to emulate.   You very seldom meet and know someone of Bobby's caliber and quality.   He was a good friend,  a good person and a good Christian.   Everyone that knew him will greatly miss him.

So sorry to here about Bro. Morcom, it was always a pleasure working with him with ushering upstairs balcony, always a faithful servant and model Christian. I will surely miss him, prayers for his family.

My condolences to the family.  I worked for Bobby for a few years and found him to be one of the steadiest, most sincere and most sensible people I have ever met.  He will be greatly missed.

It has been almost 10 years since I worked with Bobby....I can tell you he made a lasting impression on me early in my career.  I'm sorry to hear of his passing, but I know lived a great life and will be looking over us all in the great place above!

Please accept our deepest condolences on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Lillie Mathews and family.

My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to all the family.  
I grew up with Bobby and we went to high school the same year.
He was a wonderful person and this is so very sad.

It was a great pleasure to work with Bobby these last few years.  He was such a classy guy!  Bobby will be greatly missed!!  May the Prince of Peace be with you all during these difficult days.

Edna, I was so sorry to hear about this. I know this is a difficult time for you and your family. I remember all the happy days we spent together teaching and you talking about your Bobby. Please know that you are in my thoughts today and the days ahead.

Edna and family I am praying for Gods strength to surround you and the thoughts, prayers and love of others to give you comfort

Sheila and I extend our deepest condolences for your loss.  I worked with Bobby at BWXT for the past 10 years.  He was always great to work with and had a great personality and outlook.  He will be missed by all he came in contact with.  Edna, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of working for Bobby for the majority of the past 6 years.  Bobby was a wonderful person who provided excellent leadership, guidance and support.  He was as genuine of a person as I have ever known and I will miss him greatly.    I know that he loved to travel and always enjoyed the frequent trips to Virginia Beach and cruises to warm destinations.  I will miss hearing about those stories on our Monday morning calls.  My condolences to Bobby's family.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I worked for Bobby for years at BWXT, and worked with him for many more.   He was always a gentleman, always respectful of the feeling of others, and always the one to ask if there was doubt about how to get a job done.

Everyone I know enjoyed knowing him and working with him.     His Christian character was obvious in the way he lived his life and in the way he interacted with others.   

Our prayers are with his family at this time.   He will be missed by many.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. They just don't make men anymore like Bobby. He was a true friend and gentleman in every situation. I had the pleasure of working with Bobby for 16 years. He will be truly missed by all. May God Bless each of you and comfort you during the coming days.

Thoughts and prayers to you Edna and your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dana Lang

I had the privilege to know Bobby for about 17 years through work. In addition to being one of the nicest people I have met, he was always very calm and steady, a quiet but strong leader. He was also one of the most knowledgeable people I knew about our product, and always willing to assist and answer questions. My condolences to the Morcom family, he will be greatly missed by his "work family" as well.

Rosie and I extend our deepest sympathy & condolences to Edna and all of the family in this time of great loss!  I worked with and for Bobby at B&W/BWXT for many years and must say he was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. He will be greatly missed by ALL who ever knew him and my prayer is that God will shower his peace and comfort on all of the family during this difficult time.

Praying for God to surround you with his loving comfort.

To us, you are still "Mrs. Morcom", Daniel's first grade teacher!!! We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your husband. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.  Doris and Don Lakey

So sorry to hear about the passing of Bobby Morcom. He was a well respected father, grandfather, brother, and son. I know his church family at TRBC will miss him. His father Wood is one of the best men I have ever known. I know his heart is broken as well as his wife, children, and grandchildren. God lift his wife children and family up and comfort them in this terrible time.

So sorry Edna ,praying for you and your family

Bobby will truly be missed.  I have known him for about 31 years and he was always willing to help anyone with anything.  He was obviously a man of God as i never saw him get angry or use bad language even when the situation was very difficult.  He was extremely knowledgeable of just about any subject and was a true asset to our BWXT company.  He was well thought of by all of our customers and his coworkers.  Bobby could always be counted on to tell the truth about any topic brought forward for discussion.  His ideas were always spot on and he cared deeply about doing a good job for the company.  His experience in Industrial Engineering, plant facilities, production control, higher tier operations, central planning, and running the LTC facility were second to none.  Bobby was invaluable when determining how our proposals, rates, staffing, and product costs would be impacted based on numerous scenarios.  He was always thinking of his family and looked forward to the many trips with Edna and the beach trips with the rest of his family.  I am so sorry for his actual family and our work family, as he was planning to retire this year so he could spend more time with Edna, his daughters and their families.  Bobby was a great employee and manager and an even better father and grandfather. I will miss him greatly.  Praying for Edna and family to find strength and know that he will always be with us.

So very sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I worked with him for numerous years at B&W, he was a good man. Praying for the family.

So sorry for the loss of a son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. Knew he was getting ready to retired to enjoy more time with his family, what a loss for all you guys, will keep you in our prays.

I am honored to have known Mr. Morcom and also been taught by his wife.  He was one of the calmest and nicest man you could meet.  It is such a loss to loose such a man and his leadership at BWXT.  I pray for God's healing arms to be wrapped around his family during such a difficult time.  God Bless each of you.  May Mr. Morcom's legacy continue to live on through each of you.

Many prayers and peace for you all.  Michele & JW Stinnett

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Rest in peace Bobby.  You were a good man and will be missed by us at work.  Prayers go out to his wife and children during this hard time.  Always know that you are family to us on Mt Athos.  God Bless

I have had the pleasure of working with Bobby over the past 3 years. He was a joy to be around and always brought a sense of calm to the office. He was filled with knowledge and always kept things in perspective. He will be missed...
