    I have fond memories of our time at Tasman Milk Products and Alaron Products. You could always have a joke with Murray, he was great to work with.

    Dear Sharon. I am deeply sorry for your loss of Murray, your husband, father to Hayley, Brent and Reece and your grand children.
    Sending my heartfelt condolences to you Sharon and to all who knew Murray and loved Murray like we do.
    Sending lots of love to you all and that includes my brothers Bevan and Eric.
    I pray for you to enjoy the rest of your life and know that Murray will never be far from you in spirit as you hold this loving connection in your heart. Energy can take shape in another form but energy can not die.
    I ask that our angels help him on the other side with any adjustments and to shower him with unconditional LOVE.
    I ask Source/God energy and our angels to assist you Sharon and to wrap their wings around you and let you know, you are loved and every thing will be ok. You have their support. Call on them at any time (if your belief system believes angels are real). Reach out to me any time please Sharon, there would never be a wrong time to contact me. We shared a love for some one who has now left the earth plane and transitioned to a much better place, a high vibrational frequency realm where there is only LOVE and where a souls awareness is elevated to high levels. A place of true unity. May Murray help with your own healing from the grief you are experiencing and may Murray get all the counselling and healing he may require. Sending love and light to you. ps This is a part of my spiritual beliefs and if any of it doesnt resonate with you, thats ok, i apologize. May all beings be free of suffering.

    So sorry to hear of the passing of Murray.
    I have good memories of working with Murray at Fulton Hogan in Greymouth. All ways coming in to work with smile on his face, even though he drove a Scania.
    Also the odd vintage car run, with him in his Vauxhall and me in my Chevy.
    Our condolences to you Sharon and Reece.
    Rest in peace Murray ❤️❤️

    So sorry to hear of Murrays passing. I have many happy memories of your Nelson days. Model A runs, camping at Marahau, enjoying a cold home brew with you, and watching our babies grow into children and playing together.
    To Murrays family I hope your memories of him will sustain you during this difficult time.
