In his long life, he welcomed his children’s grand-children’s children. His 100 years on this Earth saw the advent of technology from the common use of cars, and telephones in homes, to the development of the internet and computers and he embraced it all with a curiosity for how it worked. He was a signalman in the Second World War and shared his stories with all who showed an interest. His many careers involved canning peaches, making cranberry relish for all the world, fixing cars, and working at Outboard Marine. He had a mischievous streak and a generous soul always searching out adventure. Friday February 26, 2021 Murray began his journey for the spirit world knowing he was loved by his family. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.  Visitation will be held by at CURVE LAKE CHURCH on Tuesday March 2, 2021 from 7:00 – 9:00 PM and on Wednesday March 3, 2021 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM & 7:00 – 9:00 PM.  Due to COVID restrictions, visitation is limited to a specific number of visitors at a time.
