My heartfelt condolences to Bernice and family. I met Murray through business a few years ago and consider my life better for having known him. I enjoyed immensely our coffee meetings. Murray is one of those exceptional men who leaves this realm having made it a far better place due to his presence. Rest easy Murray whilst you watch over your loved ones.

I will always remember the great times on Saturday morning working with Uncle Muz at the butcher shop. He taught me the great lesson of work ethic. He enjoyed meeting his great-nieces and was always ready for a chat.
Love Mike, Aimee, Eva and Elsie.
