Richard John Morrisey III ’66

Richard John Morrisey III ’66 passed away in his sleep at home in Corvallis, Montana, in the shadow of the Bitterroot Mountains, on June 9 after a battle against metastatic colon cancer. Born and raised in a military family that moved frequently, Rich was a larger-than-life personality who embraced many roles. He was a football star and state backstroke champion in high school, a member of Psi Upsilon at Dartmouth, a naval intelligence officer during Vietnam, on the law review at the University of Arkansas, a lawyer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, and an entrepreneur, talented chef, master gardener, expert trout fisherman, consummate storyteller, lifelong learner, and humanitarian. He loved Montana and was passionate about its conservation for future generations. Rich was a dedicated and loving son and brother; husband to Judy and previously Missy; “Dad” to sons Evan and Graham and their wives; and a proud and patient “Cowpa” to grandchildren Madison, Bennett, Will, Austin, Eli, Drake, and Mia. He was a dear friend to many and an enemy to none. Donations in Rich’s honor can be made to the Bitterroot Land Trust.
