There are some things in life that you know you have to go through, but never really understand until you get there. This is one of those events. If there is any forgiving exit from this universe, let it be doing what you love, where you love, with those you love. Murray was living out his passion on God’s finest and most magical creation, the deep blue sea. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, family man, friend and philanthropist.
Surviving Murray is his wife Nadine, son Stuart, daughter in law Amy, grandchildren Benjamin, Jacob, brother Barry along with his family and friends from around the world.
The family would like to have donations made in lieu of flowers to either the Harbor Village Coral Restoration Foundation, the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s, or the Jacksonville USO. These causes have been near and dear to Murray’s heart and make wonderful impacts on our world.
