Hamiltonians are getting a chance to post their memories and condolences for the family of Bob Morrow. There will be a book of condolences available at City Hall beginning at noon on Tuesday. It’s on the second floor outside the Mayor’s office.
The longest serving mayor in the city’s history passed away yesterday at the age of 71.
Mayor Eisenberger is also inviting citizens to post their memories and condolences on his official Twitter and Facebook page. Eisenberger says they will be compiled and shared with Morrow’s family.
Robert Morrow was Hamilton’s mayor from 1982 until 2000, later serving as a citizenship judge.

He’s being remembered by Hamilton Community Foundation CEO, and former Hamilton Wentworth Regional Chair Terry Cooke, as “an unforgettable character with a true gift for connecting with people from all walks of life.”
Hamilton City Council voted in December 2017 to name the city hall forecourt in honour of Morrow, who had been dealing with health challenges.
Current Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger credits Morrow with leading “the beginning of what is now considered to be the most diversified economy in Canada.”
Eisenberger said all City of Hamilton flags will be flown at half-mast until the funeral service. He said visitation and funeral details will be shared once they are known.
