  Daniel L. Morrow, 69, of Batavia passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Sunday February 23, 2020 at the LeRoy Village Green. He was born in Batavia on August 12, 1950 to the late Murray Morrow and Donna (O’Brien) Morrow of Batavia. In addition to his father, Daniel is predeceased by his wife; Georgina A. Morrow

Daniel was an avid outdoorsman.  He enjoyed hunting and fishing, walking the beach, and most of all sitting by the ocean with a good book.  In his later years he took up biking and loved to talk about his 100-mile trip on the Erie Canal from Brockport to Syracuse that he made several times; by himself, with his son-in-law, Philip, and once with his grandson, Anthony.  He instilled in us a zest for life and enjoying all that was around us.  From his love of music, watching good movies, appreciating great comedy, to cheering on his beloved Yankees, Sabres and Bills (he was a hometown man through and through), traveling, great food, and good wine, he never stopped experiencing and enjoying life. Danny loved his parents, his siblings, his wife, and his children, but he found great joy in being a grandfather.  His grandkids all knew that if they needed anything, he was the one to turn to.  You have left a mark on their lives and they were blessed to call you theirs. With immense courage you faced the end of your life.  We watched you fight a disease that could not be overcome, but one that could be endured.  And you valiantly endured with a smile and grace, strength and tenacity right to the end.  You taught us all something in the last chapter of your life that we did not want to learn, but that will leave us better going forward - when life is unfair don’t get bitter, be kind. 

The last two years of your life you received the best care at Leroy Village Green.  Every nurse, every aide, every therapist, every housekeeper came in to see you and commented on your beautiful smile, your sense of humor, your kindness to each and every one.  The entire staff mourned you like you were their father, their friend, their brother.  You will be missed by many, but more importantly you will be remembered.        

He is survived by his children; Amy (Tony) Ilacqua of Oakfield, Jessica (Philip) Farley of Liverpool, Jason (Kristine) Morrow of Tonawanda, Danielle (Scott) Tooley of Batavia; siblings Donna (Tom) Smyth of CO., Vicky (George) Hodges of VA., Mickey (Diane) Morrow of Batavia, Brian (Carolyn) Morrow of CA., Mark (Lee) Morrow of WA., Dennis (Natasha) Morrow of CA., and Timmy (Brenda) Morrow of Batavia; 11 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews.

Russell spent his entire life in Oakfield, New York, a town he loved to call home. Those who know him best speak fondly of his years as an icon at many local dealerships where he greeted his customers for nearly 60 years with, “How’s that car running?” Rusty sold thousands of cars at local dealerships including Frey Brothers Motors, Mancuso Motors, Hawley Motors, Country Motors, and most recently, Ken Barrett Chevrolet for 22 years.

Russell loved to share stories about adventures at the casino and memories of time spent at Saranac Lake.  Citizens of the town of Oakfield may remember Russ and Carlene’s restaurant Car’s Corner, and they could ring in the Christmas season by the twinkle of lights and decorations Russell put up meticulously each year at his home on Main Street.   

Dad, your wish to spend your final days at home was granted, and we will forever cherish all of the memories created and revisited during this time together. The stories, laughter, and tender moments we shared are such a gift. We are grateful you are at peace.
