Murray was born August 1, 1952 in Manning, AB and spent the last 30 years married to the love of his life, Charmaine. He was a quiet, selfless man who enjoyed life and saw the positive in every situation. Murray’s first love in life was his family. When his children were in search of guidance, he was always the first to be contacted. In addition to being a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, Murray’s competitive nature was evident in his love of NFL Football (Go Vikes, Go!), the Stock Market and curling. Murray will be deeply missed by both family and friends. A Prayer Service will be held at ST. MARTHA’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, 355 Columbia Blvd West, Lethbridge, on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 at 8:00 P.M.
