    I have many fond memories of visiting Uncle Murray sitting on the patio listening and laughing about family stories he told. Murray alway had the best sense of humour. He will be greatly missed.

    It was always so exciting when Uncle Murray would take me for a ride in his Ford Galaxie which he always kept in mint condition.

    Sincere condolences to Marilyn, Gaylene and family.

    Condolences to Marilyn and all the family. I met Murray as a teenager following Bill & Mavis’ marriage. I recall him as a quiet, kind person with a great sense of humor.
