Dear family of Skip Morrow, I am so sad to hear about Skip's death. I use to call him Skipy whenever I would see him walking in the hallways and not smiling. "Hey Skipy!", because he would always make me smile or laugh out loud, when we passed each other. I really do not know why, or how it started, but Skip made me think better of people. Skip was always happy when we were in the speach room together. He would always say "HI" to me. When we had dances at Sahuaro, Skip would ask me to dance......maybe because I wasn't dancing with anyone. lol. But he was kind, and always tell me he liked the dress I was wearing, every time. Skip was KIND, and showed COMPASSION to eveyone yes everyone!!!!! Thank you Skip Morrow for being a "Good Guy." There are so few in this world now, I will remember you always with that smile asking me to dance.

Dear fellow students and friends of skip..... please stay tuned to this space Ann Knowles, skip’s Dear Friend and executor of his estate and myself are planning a zoom celebration of Skip's life since none of us were able to attend his funeral that is being held tomorrow in Utah. Sometime in the weeks to come, I'll post about this and hope that all of us can get together on zoom and share some stories of our own ! Thank you!
I'm thinking of Skip this week and feel blessed to have all the good memories from so many years ago. I have a vivid memory of Skip and Marc Batiste leading cheers at the first away football game in Bisbee in the fall of 1968. I think that may have been the first time I saw him. He kicked ass leading those cheers. May he rest in peace.
To Joe's friends and family: I am Joe's former high school speech teacher, and good friend for these past many years. Joe was a teacher's delight. His intellectual skills were superior...his quest 'to know' was superb. He loved his freinds..he enjoyed spendinding time Learning writing, speaking, acting. That quest to know, to experience, to share was always pursued. I participated in that quest as frequently as I could. We learned from one another and from his other friends/classmates. We have stayed in touch these past decades...celebrating life by phone,and in personal visits. I marvel at his knowledge of this planet where we all preside.... Joseph, 'Skip' Morrow was a gift to this instructor/ friend....my heart and soul have a broken scar...he will be missed by all who were privileged to know him and share in his adventures.
In Loving Memory
Dear Morrow Family, I am heartbroken for all of us that Skip is gone. Please accept my deepest condolences during this incredibly difficult time. Skip was truly one of a kind—a remarkable man whose friendship enriched my life in countless ways. From his days as a decorated speech and debate student at Sahuaro High School to his lifelong passion for theater, history, and storytelling, Skip had an extraordinary gift for bringing knowledge and experiences to life through his incredible narratives. What made Skip so special was not just his vast knowledge of history, art, politics, and architecture, but his unparalleled ability to weave these subjects into captivating stories that could transport you to another time and place. He was the consummate storyteller, with an unbelievable memory for detail and a talent for making every conversation feel like a fascinating journey. I am deeply moved by the rare and beautiful friendships Skip maintained throughout his life—particularly his 50-year connection and friendship with his beloved speech teacher and his fellow students from Sahuaro. This speaks volumes about the kind of person he was: loyal, thoughtful, and genuinely caring about the people who mattered to him. Skip’s kindness, generosity, and fierce loyalty as a friend will never be forgotten. Whether he was sharing tales of his travels through Bavaria, his theatrical adventures, or his experiences in the Army, he had a way of making everyone around him feel valued and engaged. His compassion for others and his warm, personable demeanor touched so many lives. I am profoundly grateful for the gift of Skip’s friendship. While my heart breaks knowing I’ll never again have the opportunity to spend time with him and hear his amazing stories, I will treasure the memories we shared and carry his spirit with me always. Skip’s legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched, the stories he shared, and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. With love and sympathy…. ??Always Jorjii
