Even when he was sick he always was more concerned with the other guy, how I was doing, and whether there was anything he could do for me. When I hear the words unselfish, optimistic, and grateful, I think of Murray.

I had the pleasure of taking care of Murray in his last few days of his life. What a wonderful amazing family that he had surrounding him. Although I only saw him at his worst, I know through his family that he was one of the absolute best. My thoughts are with the Condon family in this time of loss. I will never forget watching his beautiful son Matthew at his side--Linda you have raised very strong children-You are very blessed. I feel blessed to have known Murray in his short life and I am certain he is resting in peace. Thank You for allowing me time with your family in this difficult time in your lives. Take care.

To the entire Condon family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. I had the joy of getting to know Murray working on the Joe Schmit Golf Tournament over many years. Murray always had a smile and something to say that would bring laughter to us all, even when he his cancer battle came into the light. While I may not have talked with him recently, he is part of my Big Brother family and for that I am grateful. I wish you all peace knowing he was loved by many.

So many thoughts come to mind when I think of Murray: Camping at Taylor's Falls; events at the house on 4th street, Laehn's house, my basement; tailgating at Met Center before a concert, York Park, Sheridan Ave, walking around the lake with Irish Setter puppies, etc. I'm pleased to have been there for the 1970's version of your life. Rest well, friend, rest well. Peace and strength to the entire far-reaching branches of the Condon family tree.
