I first met Murray in 1978 while working at Stenpro and he was working for Maritime Tel & Tel, then in 1986 Walter & I moved into the community of Hunts Point and Murray would stop by for visits. One year for Christmas he gave Walter & I a goose. Please know that Murray was a wonderful thoughtful friend to me when Walter passed away, he would stop by my work just for a chat to see how I was doing. Keep your memories of a wonderful husband, and father close in your hearts. Murray will be missed, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. God Bless.
RIP MY FRIEND MURRAY.

To Bev and Family…Our deepest sympathy…I will long fondly remember Murray for the leadership he showed as president of LBC, a job he did with patience, humour and kindness.
Years removed from that time, we would meet on the street and share fine conversations on the ‘state of things’. It always seemed to me that he had a twinkle in his eye.
We will miss him.

I rememeber that phase well. A wisdom he liked to share.
He was a good person and gave back to our community. He led a productive, full life.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
He helped build it; and yes, they came!

However, we will be there in spirit and you are in our thoughts and prayers as you mourn Murray’s passing and celebrate his life, a life well lived.

Your dad was a godly man and now he is with his God. Rest in peace, Murray.
Sincere condolences,
