Sorry to hear of Murray's passing, such a warm loving man.
My memory is of Goulds Road days. Living at 26 we were a young couple welcomed into the street by Murray and Nola. 1980 to 86. Always there for us with lots of laughs and wisdom shared.

Sorry to read of Murray´s passing. We certainly had a few laughs over the years and he and David shared the odd whiskey.
Treasure your memories and talk about him often.
Thoughts are with you all. Regards. Robyn Will

I was sorry to read that Murray passed away. He was a kind and fun colleague in our insurance days together and we often stopped to chat in the years since. He will be sadly missed.
