Dr. Murray changed many people's lives for the better through his surgery, and his legacy will continue through the surgical residents he trained and the students he influenced. I was one of those students who spent time with Dr. Murray for parts of two years 1978-1980 observing his complex operations at the Children's Hospital with the assistance of Dr. Mulliken and Dr. Kaban. This singular influence allowed me to pursue a Head and Neck surgical career without any doubt or second guess. I attended the 25th anniversary celebration of the kindey transplant at harvard Med school and was indeed please to see the Nobel Prize awarded to a man whose work saved countless people. My prayers to the entire Murray family and a confirmation that his legacy will be timeless.
His work lives on! My brother, a father of 3, received one of my kidneys. A thank you and best wishes to the entire Murray family.
To Dr. Murray's family
I am sorry to hear of Dr Murray's passing but have to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart for his work in Kidney Transplantation. If it where not for Dr. Murray I would not be here today. So as we mourn the passing of such a great man, we must remember all the good he did. He will be dearly missed by all of us who have received Kidney transplants.
I was patient of Dr. Murray's for many years through my childhood. I was always happy to see him and he always seemed happy to see me. Like my parents he always encouraged me to do anything I wanted and not let my surgeries hold me back. He had a major influence on who I am today. I will not forget that.
This sad occasion of Dr. "Joeshp" Murray's departure brings back fond memories. I wish Dr. Murray's daughter, Virginia, and all her family and friends comfort and peace in this time of grief. Tom Ripley
If not for Dr. Murray's pioneering work with kidney transplants, I would not be the long term beneficiary of such a transplant for 26 years.
I am so grateful for this gift of life and will always honor Dr. Murray's memory. He was truly a great man and has enabled many to live healthy, productive lives.
Rest in peace, Doctor.
Blessings to the Murray family and my
condolences.
