Not sure what to say?





I was very sad to learn of Dr. Murray's passing. I have so many great memories of him while hanging around with Dave Murray as a kid. Like working on their 1960's era Mustang Convertible. Or helping move stuff into his doctor's office I think in the old Oak Par Arms building. He gave me his old minifridge from that office in appreciation. I brought it to my first year at Marquette! My condolences to all the extended Murray families.
Best Regards,
