Saddened to learn of Murray's passing. He was hugely respected and admired throughout the Region. Murray was larger than life and so was his generosity of spirit, his sharing of knowledge and his kindnesses to others. Fond memories of the many three-way discussions held with Bruce Scarlett and Murray over local issues which included a lot of laughter and successful outcomes. A good man. Thoughts go to Lar and the family - the most important people in Murray's life.
