If this world had more Mr. Murray’s it would be much better place!
Working with and around him at the base housing maintenance was always a pleasure.
Truly one of the good ones.

Murray was the kindest and most wonderful man you could ever meet and probably the toughest. He lived in pain for over 50 years of his life and never complained. I know God has a place for him now, without the pain he suffered here from his illness. He was a true forever friend and I grew up just a country block away from him. I started working with him at Eglin AFB in early 70s and at lunch he could not wait to play volleyball. There are many guys that walked away from the game with their thumbs hurt as Murray could spike the ball like nobody else and he loved to play next to the net. He will be missed by so many and he leaves behind so many good memories, from making worms for Bass fishing to showing off his metal detecting skills in a jar and his knowledge and his honesty running a government supplied stockroom. May God bless his family and give Murray a special place in heaven. I will never forget him sticking by my side in preparing Bids for government contracts on military bases and helping keep jobs for our fellow men. I will truly miss him and will never forget the great times we had working together and the time he jumped off my boat while sucker gigging one night into a real cold creek when I hit a stump! May God Bless You Murray!
