So sorry to read this, I was in Charleston and was looking to see if Murray was still in the area. He was a fine man, and I have fond memories of his wonderful family when they lived in Cleveland.

I am so sorry to hear of "Uncle" Murray's passing. I think of him from time to time, and I can't help but smile. He was always generous with his kindness and warmth. He made me feel loved, and I loved him right back. I know his memory will live on in all the people who were lucky enough to know him. Cindy and family, I send my condolences on your loss and blessings on your grief.
With love,
Laura (Larry's daughter)

Murray was an Outstanding Man. We were Classmates at Summerville and The Citadel. You were just better for being around him. When I get to where you are going; and that will take a while, maybe you can wrap my ankles and doctor my broken nose and cuts. Your were the best! Thanks Buddy!!
