At 81 years young, the man who could have put this properly into words, is gone. His kindness, brilliance and ability to make people laugh, even in the toughest of times, will be missed. He could fix and build anything. We know the memories and words he has left us will help to fix our broken hearts. Bob Murray is survived by the love of his life (for 66 years), Morva, his sons Randy (Linda) and Kevin (Melanie), grandsons Garret and Tanner (Sarah) and great grandson Nash. Bob is also survived by his sister Margaret Sutherland, special sister Mavis Murray, and many loved nieces and nephews.

Bob’s wish was for friends and family to remember him in life, and thus forgo a funeral. To read about Bob’s many life adventures, please visit the Merritt News’ website for a compilation of the Country Boy’s columns.

The Murray family would like to sincerely thank those who have shown so much support in their time of sadness. Your kind words, stories, laughter and other nourishments for the body and soul are the kind of things Bob would’ve written about.

Morva would like to extend her heartfelt appreciation to Dr. McLeod and his staff for their caring support over these past several years.

Donations in Bob’s name can be made at Nicola Valley Heritage Society. Box 1105 Merritt B.C. or stop by 2202 Voght Street, or phone 250-378-0349
