Bob's easygoing personality was a good buffer for Helen’s intensity and a complement to the perpetual activity that surrounded Helen’s and Sybil’s lives.

Attractive and well-dressed, Bob had an easygoing personality – a good buffer for Helen’s intensity and a complement to the perpetual activity that surrounded Helen’s and Sybil’s lives. Liked by all, he sometimes hosted Hanya Holm and other friends of Sybil’s when he was in New York. He died at age 64, after several heart attacks. He and Helen are buried together in Rosewood Cemetery in Chicago.
In 2015 the Morrison-Shearer Foundation donated Bob Morrison’s printing equipment and lead type to Judson University in Elgin, Illinois. There the students and faculty in the School of Art and Design restored all and developed a new Print Lab which was dedicated in February 2016.
