Dear Marie: My deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of a wonderful man and true gentleman. I worked as a secretary for Maury many years ago when we first began at Phil Corboy's office, prior to his going over to the Wildman firm. God bless you and your family.

Dear Mrs. Garvey and Family:

I had the privilege of working with Maury for many years at Bollinger, Ruberry & Garvey. He and I were usually one of the first two in the office and spent many moments simply "visiting" during that time. What a wonderful man -- he was never too busy to share a joke, a smile or a word of encouragement. Heaven is truly brighter with Maury there. We will be praying for you and your family during this time.

It is with heavy hearts that we sign this guest book for Maury. He was a great friend, a professional colleague and a wonderful man. We will never forget his smiling face walking the hallways of the firm.

Whether it was just to stop by and say hello or stop and tell a joke, he always took the time to see how we were doing. He will truly be missed by all of us. Your entire family is in our thoughts and prayers.
