RIP Murray. One of the good guys.
It was a great sadness to hear of Uncle Murray’s passing. I have many fond memories of our family times together. In particular, I remember when Uncle Murray asked me to teach him how to canoe at one of our family gatherings, that nearly ended in a disaster. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the service tomorrow, but my thoughts and sympathy will be with all of the family and friends.

Our thoughts are with you all at this time. We always enjoyed Murray at our MacLachlan Reunions – even if he was an “outlaw”.
