Robert J. Morin Jr.

Warren – Robert J. “Bobby Joe” Morin, Jr., 68, of Warren, died on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at UMass Memorial Hospital – University Campus in Worcester.

He leaves his daughters, Sondra Morin and her cat “Roxy” of Chicago, Tiffany Richard and her husband Benjamin of Wheelwright, along with grandchildren, Thea Richard and Dean Richard, as well as his longtime partner, Deborah Apraham, her daughter Ashley Apraham, and Debbie’s granddaughter Madison Apraham. He also leaves his sisters, Donna Sheeran of Maine, Glenda Morin of Warren, and Darlene Latti of Maine. He was predeceased by his wife, Bonnie Comeau Morin.

As a young man, Bob lived in Texas, where he built fences on ranches, and he would often speak fondly of those years. He built his career as a Rolling Machine Operator at Rathbone Precision Metals in Palmer, where he proudly worked for 44 years.

Bob enjoyed hunting and taking his daughters to the local turkey shoots. He was also a big Red Sox fan—through their good years and bad years. He liked to ride motorcycles and travel, and enjoyed camping in Lake George, New York. He recently fulfilled his dream of taking the train to Chicago. He loved his dogs, especially “Bug” who would accompany him on his rides around town. Going out for Chinese food and antique shopping with Deb were some of his favorite pastimes: “These were a wicker good deal!” Bob loved his daughters and supported them throughout all their endeavors. His happiest times were with his grandchildren. Maddie loved feeding the chipmunks in his yard. Dean would share “Pepe” noodles with him. Thea was his dance partner. He was deeply loved.

A graveside service will be held the following morning, on Friday, August 15, 2025, at 11AM in Pine Grove Cemetery in Warren.
