Murray BABB Obituary

October 19, 1942-October 07, 2022

Those of us honoured to call Murray a relative or friend are saddened to announce Murray's decision to end this life following a recent diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Murray was such a unique individual, with so many friends and not a single enemy. A Westdale fixture, he lived his entire life in the house in which he was born. Predeceased by his parents Hager and Edna Babb and his brothers Don (Doreen) and Trevor (Joan). Murray spent his full career as a highly regarded employee in the Accounting Department at Stelco, but sports was his lifelong passion. A member of the most senior Ontario baseball league in the 60's, he played recreational and competitive touch football, hockey, and soccer into his 70's and mentored many young players along the way. Murray's purpose in life was to help others. He will be missed by so many neighbours who benefitted from his many touches of kindness. In conformance with Murray's request, and his typical modesty, there will be no memorial service. We ask that you honour him through your own personal acts of kindness to others. And in lieu of flowers, please make someone smile today. Online condolences may be made at www.marlattfhdundas.com

Murray lived down the street from where I grew up and where my mother still lives. He was such a wonderful member of the community always willing to help a neighbour in need. I remember Murray spending so much time and effort maintaining Mrs Water's beloved garden when she got too old to do all the hard work herself. Whenever I was in the neighbourhood for a visit you could always count on Murray for a warm welcoming, smile and a wave.

Enjoyed a wonderful evening recently with Murray - at the TNT Hockey Reunion and very thankful for this. I will remember fondly our golf games. Murray loved his sports - the trunk of his car was always full of sports equipment. You will be missed Murray - Rest in Peace!

Murray was part of the coaching staff when I played soccer at McMaster. He was a wonderful man who will be missed by all who knew him.

I was only an acquaintance with Murray but I can attest to his acts of kindness as I watched him over the years mentor my son in so many sports and in sports pools. He was a man who knew his own mind and lived life fully on his terms. He will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.
