Sorry to learn of Murray's passing. We attended the State Police Academy together in 1955. I enjoyed knowing Murray, and in later years I saw him at the Trooper Crab Feast in Cambridge.

My thoughts & prayers are with you Charlotte in this time of sorrow. I had the pleasure of both working with Murray and working for him. I always found him to be a class act in both. In our earlier years we played golf togethe, and were on a softball team at Perry Point. We often played golf together over the ZXyears. Our friendship continued in the Rising Sun Lions club. We both enjoyed being members of the greatest organizations in America, "The Maryland State Police"

We were so saddened to hear of Murray's passing. When I think of Murray I think he was really one of the good guys. I'll miss his jokes everytime we saw each other and I will miss everyone of his emails. I will also miss all the good times with my Mom and Dad. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Charlotte. Love, George and Sharon
