To the family of Murray,
It is with a great shock and sadness to hear of Murray's passing. As a long time seed industry friend and work colleague Murray leaves a legacy of knowledge across the seed production industry that is unequalled.
My sincere condolences to all his family. I plan on attending his memorial on line .
