It is with sadness that I hear of your passing. I remember you as a person with a sense of humour and a very kind welcoming nature.Rest in peace.
Murray I’m so sorry to hear of your passing we only just met in our subdivision and often had a wee chat on the footpath as I trundled past on my mobility scooter. I went past the day of the hearse at home and was worried at what happened and only just today 17th May found out you had passed. My sincere condolences to the family. Take care mate and RIP Murray.
Regards
Shayne Downey.
Joined you all today via video link. How Good that is when so far away here in Kalgoorlie-Boulder WA
Loved the Urology, Some good laughs there, I could just see Murrays face when the $100 Note trick failed .
Hope everyone there enjoys those few Bourbons

We send our love and support to all the families. Much love Gary and Lynette van de Wetering
So long Murray, it’s been good to know you. We’ll see you at Kings In The Corner.
Much love, Gloria and Jim

Fond memories of Family holidays in Taupo as a child, Mark being a baby with Andrew on the way. Spending time at the lake .
Then Hilarious memories of Murray giving me driving lessons while on School holidays when living in Te rapa. Murray let me use the horses training paddock to practice driving the Green Anglia (with a ford escort motor) around the track. I learnt all my best lessons once he trusted me to have a go on the bitumen (by doing the opposite of everything he had told me to do 🥴) i.e. braking before the 90deg corner not on the corner. Then managed to control a pretty radical skid in the gravel at the Servo ….which isn’t/wasn’t very far up the road, but was as far as Murray would have been game to let me go. 🤯. Has been one of my go-to Yarns ever since.!
Also most recently had a great time Learning how to Body Surf up at the Beach. Was really Special spending that time with Family.!
My thoughts are with Family now.
Loads of Love Sharryn
