I met Murray at Ora Kinetics.

I loved his riotously funny observations of life. I also loved his interpretation and analysis of all things rugby. (Pure gold) I managed to figure it all out with his "assistance" ! I thought worthy of a regular spot on Sky Sport

Sue, he spoke so fondly of you and family. You all brought him such joy.

I´ll miss you Murray

Kindest regards to Murray´s family.

Dear Sue, Scott, Hayley and Families
I was so sorry to hear of Murrays passing. I remember him fondly from Central Fuels, and would have to be one of my best bosses ever. More recently had caught up with him at Streetwise Coffee, and had a great catch up
You are in my thoughts at this time.
