Bob was a wonderful man because he made my Aunt Mary laugh…
He always had a mischievious little twinkle in his eye; a sure sign that you were about to hear one of his jokes.
He was also a great story teller and recounted his “sales escapades” to the delight of many.
Bob, you will be missed.

There will only be one Bob Murray.
The frustration and suffering is over, my friend.
The good times will be remembered.
We could write the book but not the final chapter.
You will be remembered.
