David Murray

In Memorial

MURRAY, David Earl
May 5, 1950 ~ May 6, 2011
Surrounded by his family at home, Dave passed away peacefully May 6th, 2011, after a short battle with Cancer.  Son of the late Raymond & Irene (Walker) Murray.  Loved father of Catherine (Carmine) & Andrea (Paul). Brother of Don (Mary) & Uncle to Katelyn and Kyle.  Will also be sadly missed by his Girlfriend Renee and her Children Melissa, Brad (Carrie) and Allison.  Special Thanks to Lisa Brooksbank, Cousin Jane and Carmine for helping to take special care of Dad and to George Durnan, Shelley Murray, Mike Crombie, Don & Mary Murray, Pam Foreman for their love and support.  His humour and love will surely be missed by all who knew him.  We love you Big Daddy! (aka Bert).  A Service of Remembrance will be held at Royal Canadian Legion at 25 Richmond St, Tottenham on May 12, 2011 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.  In lieu of flowers, donations to Camp Oochigeas (464 Bathurst St., Toronto, ON, M5T 2S6, 416-961-6624, www.ooch.org),  a camp for children with Cancer would be appreciated at Dave’s request.

    I like to think that Dave and Grandpy died on the same day so they could make this journey together…lets hope there is a table with cold beers awaiting them!
    I’m thinking of your family in this time of need, and you will be in my prayers!

    Andrea,
    I am so sorry to hear about your dad. It seems that it was quite sudden, which I think makes it more difficult to deal with. We miss you here at King but are thinking of you.

    We very saddened to hear of Dave’s passing. We had many laughs with Dave and George when they came in the store. The best was always George escaped from the home and Dave had to take him back. Our prayers are with everyone in the family at this terrible time. Take Care,
