Murray is now at peace and resting comfortably. For me, one of his oldest friends, it just has not sunk in yet. Our friendship dates back to Carousel Pre-School on the southside of Chicago; circa 1960. All of his family and friends will truly miss him.

Dear Family--My deepest sympathy to you. Murray and I were dear friends. The "Breakfast Club" at Lou Mitchell's, flying in the T-34, Comedy Club entertainment, and conversations from the soul that evoked laughter and tears. His suffering is over and my prayers are for him, all the family, friends and me who he left behind---I will miss him.

Murray was a good friend of my brother, Bob Knuth. Murray was always a great guy when I used to hang around my brother and his "cool" friends. I was very sad to learn of his passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
