Paul Russell Morrow, age 96, of Duluth, GA passed away on January 27, 2016. Paul was born July 27, 1919 in Duncannon, PA to Clara Mae Steele Morrow and Edwin Clay Morrow. His brother, Lee Holman Morrow, and sister, Carolyn Ruth Keck, both preceded him in death. His wife of over 35 years was Eliza (Lida) Holmes Robinson of Uniontown, PA, with whom he raised two children in Pittsburgh, PA. Paul was regarded as an accomplished professional in the steel industry. During his 30+ year career with United States Steel, he rose to Division Superintendent of the Open Hearth at Homestead Works, one of the largest steel plants in the country. After retiring to The Landings in Savannah, GA in 1984, Paul stayed involved with the steel business. He ran Mortech Marketing, a consulting and raw materials brokerage business serving the steel and fertilizer industries, which kept him busy for the next 25 years. After Lida’s death in 1986, Paul was married to Louise Easley Edmunds Morrow (now deceased) for several years. Most of Paul’s later years were spent with Helen Sutphen Sieber, his best friend and companion. Paul moved to Atlanta in 2000, where he was lovingly cared for by his daughter, Melissa.
Paul is survived by his children, David Holmes Morrow (Nancy) of Overland Park, KS and Melissa Morrow Clary (Ed) of Johns Creek, GA; grandchildren, Abigail Robinson Morrow, David Alexander Clary, Eliza Nell Clary and Nathaniel Paul Clary; nieces, C. Romaine Keck (Tom), Elizabeth Ruth Gilbert and Martha Evans; grandnieces, Diana Evans and Rachel Stonecipher (Phillip); grandnephews, Chris Evans and Greg Keck; and great grandniece, Quinn Stonecipher.

David & Melissa: I hope you and your families are doing well. Your dad was certainly a fine man. Occasionally, he would call me out of the blue. I think he really enjoyed keeping in touch with his extended family, and he always had something interesting to talk about.
Maybe when I retire I will do a better job of staying in contact:)

Paul did it all from helper on the Open Hearth floor to outstanding administrator of a Large US Steel plant in Pittsburgh , Pa. Yet had the courage to retire early when further advancement was assured to be sure that he would be able to take care of his family . His heart health at that time was in question . He then set up a business that more than took care of his family concerns . He was exposed to some of the best and worst that the steel industry had to offer and even at risk to his own well being more than survived he excelled. He cared about his friends and business associates and most of us can be thankful that we were privileged to know PAUL
