As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence.

JOHN RYKEN wrote a sympathy message

“To Deb and family...so sorry to hear of Murray's passing. I still remember building your new dream home in the country ages ago. Murray was never meant to be a city dweller. He was in his element out there. So many good memories of your family. I lost touch with him over the years but I never forgot his humour and his good nature. His spirit will live on with us...stay strong and life will continue to provide for you all... John Ryken and my partner Bernadette with love.”
