Peacefully in hospital surrounded by his loving family, Murray passed away on Friday August 14th, 2020 at the age of sixty- five as a result of complication from ALS.  He was diagnosed with ALS in the spring of 2019 and courageously took on the challenge.

Murray leaves to mourn his best friend and loving wife Maureen, his beloved daughter Caitlin (Steve Hoare) and his sister Susan (Roy Smith). He will remain in the hearts of his in-laws forever, Nancy (Donald Peever), Brian (Carolyn Dignard) and Sharon (Dan Brady). He will be forever cherished by nieces and nephews, Devon, Andrea, David and Steven and will be deeply missed by his Aunt Judy Smith and cousins Hayley, Drew and John, their extended families and many friends. Murray will forever be remembered for his quiet humour, kindness and devotion.
