About Bob,He will always have that mischievous grin on his face and that sparkle in his eyes. And I haven't seen him in almost 20 years. Though time has passed , I am glad to see that he had never changed and I am deeply honored to call him my friend. You live on in our hearts, Bob!

Murray family - you are in my thoughts and prayers. I used to work with Bob at Fallon (44) - loved those shifts! Always a smile and a kind word for everyone.

Bob,
I couldn't believe your strength lifting the size of patients that I've seen. You were kind to all you encountered. I didn't work directly w/ you but spoke to you often in QMC's ER. I'm glad we met. You represented EMS very well-professional at all levels. May you rest in peace. You were taken too early. As the saying goes, "Only the good die young."

Bob always made the days we worked together on Fallon 16 something to look forward to. His infectious smile, his big bag of snacks, his love of animals and his dedication and professionalism towards the job made him a very special person. We are all blessed to have known him, albeit for too short a time.... My heartfelt sympathies to his family. He will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, my Friend.

A good man from a good family! I never got to thank him for the kindness and caring he showed my mother when he came to her house, to take her to the hospital.I remember skating with him when we were young and wondering how god fit such a big heart into one of the few kids I was actually taller then.he'd bomb around the ice completely unafraid.To the murray family I am truly sorry! may he rest in peace.

It is extremely hard to put in words how sad and sorry I am. There are just so many memories I have of us growing up; it’s hard to think of a day that went by for so many years that we weren’t up to something together back on Old Forge. Bobby – you will always be a part of me …

To the Entire Murray Family,

To know him was to love him, for it was "nice to be important, but more important to be nice." This was the way in which I remember him best and truly the way he lived his life.

Know that I consider it an honor to have spent time in your company today. You are a beautiful and precious family that we will continue to pray for. We love you,

With heartfelt sympathy,

Joanne Kinsella and
the Kinsella Family

I was a new EMT when I first worked with Bob, in Fallon 16. He had a big smile on his face as always and he taught me a great deal, things that I carry with me to this day. It was a pleasure to work with Bob whenever I was blessed with the chance too. He will always be in my prayers.

He is and always will be in our hearts.. BYE Bob.. Thanks for being there

Bobby...what can I say that hasn't already been said. One of the kindest people I've ever met. 1st thing on a Sat. am shift and already into his goodie bag !! To work with Bobby in the 44 was a privilege...to be able to call him a friend is a gift!!! You will be sorely missed !! Fallon 44

Shannon Thoms

September 30, 2008

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. Bobby precepted me when I began working for Fallon and I worked with him on numerous occasions. I remember his kind and caring ways as well as his sense of humor. Although I am no longer a Fallon employee, I can only imagine how he will be missed among his co-workers. 44 forever, Bobby. Rest in peace.

Dear Dave & Nancy:
There is not much that we can say or do to lessen your pain. I do believe that Bobby is freed of all the problems of this world but that doesn't ease your pain. Have faith! Our prayers are with you.

September 30, 2008

My Deepest Sympathy to the Murray Family. I worked with Bob several times at random during a 5 year tenure at Fallon, I always had a good time. Bob, for his size could lift more then most guys 3 times his size, and his heart and attitude were also 3 times that of most guys. I am glad I had an opportunity to know Bob, and will certainly miss him.

It was an honor to know you at fallon for the 8 years I've been there. You always knew how to make the shifts go by faster. I will miss the bags and bags of candy and snacks that covered the middle of the ambulance. You will be missed my friend.

I remember Bob as a kind and caring person, who we all enjoyed working with every shift. I enjoyed my shifts in Fallon 44 and even years after I left Fallon Bob is still mentioned in conversations I have with other former fallon employees. He had a way of making you laugh and always gave you good advice about patient care. May God bless Bob Murray and his family.

Dear Murray family, I was shocked to find out about Bob, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.

Bob will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. He was truly a genuine and caring person. God Bless!

Herbie the dentist elf......That what I called him every time I saw him.....He hated it but knew it was just the normal crap I give someone when I liked & respected them. Bob deserved everyones respect, he always had a smile on his face & was there in an instant if you needed a hand...You will be sorely missed, but fondly remembered my friend.....:(

At the invitation of Bob's sister Stephanie, I was fortunate enough to spend Easter 2006 with the Murrays and Camerlengos. My mom was with me that day. A stroke the previous year had left her challenged physically and it was difficult for her to speak. Everyone that day paid no attention to her challenges and welcomed her. But Bob was especially kind. He spent the afternoon engaging her in conversation and making her laugh. Both mom and Bob are gone now, but I will be forever grateful for that wonderful Easter Day and for Bob helping my mom forget her troubles and for bringing joy to her heart for a short while. Bob, I wish you and your family peace.

Bob, you made me laugh - really laugh - out loud - for many years. Now I've cried more this week- out loud - than I ever have before. Certain songs will always make me think of you as will Julia child and blondes in convertibles (private joke). I love you very much.

Your favorite sister, Alison (although Tracy and Stephanie will both say they were your favorite).

Keep on trucking, Bob.

Bob Murray has to be one of the nicest people that Fallon ever hired. That guy always smiled, and I didn't think he was capable of being anything less than upbeat at all times. Even hearing him on the radio was fun to listen to.

You know the old cliche' "good things come in small packages"? Well...............

I still can't believe he's gone. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Bob will be sincerely missed. He was always the eternal optimist and truly inspiring. I'll remember him for his seemingly endless supply of candy and listening to him rant for hours about his beloved shepherd. Saturday mornings will never be the same without him but he truly had a life well lived.

Bob was the nicest guy. Never saw him in a bad mood or anything. I never had the opportunity to work a shift with Bob in the 5 years I worked at Fallon. I sure wish I did.

I still can't believe it.

What are we going to do with the phone books he used to sit on????

Take care, Bob.

Bob was a kind and gentle man. He cared for every patient like they were his on family. We worked together on the Braintree truck for almost 2Yrs and a lot of details. His smiling face that he always had when you saw him will be missed by everyone. When I saw him on Wednesday we used to joke and say “show the guns” and flex his muscles he will be missed sadly by everyone. My condolences to the family and friends of our lost brother bob. My pray are with you during this hard time.
FALLON 44 FOREVER

I only had the pleasure of Bob assisting us and remember commenting on how strong he was. Ryan did his first detail with him, Kid Rock at Foxboro stadium some 9 years ago. He would see him every Wednesday and Bob would say "How ya makin out?" Truly a wonderful, pleasant man who loved his job and was excellent at it. Our condolences to his family and friends, his dog Bobby and all that loved and knew him. To have known Bob was an honor. He will be happily remembered and sadly missed!!!!

Bob is the truest example of a kind heart. He always had a smile or a kind word to share. May we all learn something by his example of the type of human being he strived to be.

Bob was one of the first people I ever worked with on an ambulance. His compassion for his patients, co- workers and those who surrounded him was an amazing thing to stand back and watch. We all learned from Bob in one way or another. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and friends during this time. You are in my prayers.

I only worked on Ambulance 44 with Bob a few times before moving up to the Paramedic level, but I know the hole he leaves at Fallon is profound. I can't think of any employee who was as universally loved as Bob. I never saw him without a smile and a good word for everyone he came across. EMS is lesser for his loss. My thoughts go out to a family experiencing more loss and pain than I can imagine.
