My deepest sympathies to the Manson family. Murray was a great inspiration to me and all that knew him. He will be deeply missed by all members of the department. My apologies for not being able to attend the services, but I am out of the country. Please know that my thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time.

To Murray's wife, Janna, and to his dear children, Dianne, Bob and Murray:
Our thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time. Murray was a fine man, decent and kind but also fun-loving! He will be dearly missed by all of you, I'm sure. But his love will continue on, as you care for and support each other. We regret that we cannot be there to add our support. Thinking of you with love...Jan and Graham

Bob, you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Sadly we never had the opportunity to meet your dad but I do know he was a great man as he succeeded with the help of your mother in raising a great son. Condolences to you and your family in your time of grief.

Dianne, Murray,Bob and families, I want you to know how saddened I was to hear of Uncle Murray's passing. He was a wonderful man, I will always remember our visits back and forth - New Liskeard and Toronto (though they were not often enough) they were great fun. Your dad was always such a fun, good natured person who made everyone feel special. I will always remember him fondly. My love to you all, your cousin, Nancy

Dianne, So sorry for your loss. I recall someone telling me when Mom and Dad passed away that now they were free of all their physical frailities and that the energy that they possessed as human beings would move them on to a better place. I was touched by those words and I hope that you will be too. Thanks so much for calling us tonight. You will be in our thoughts and prayers and we wish we could be with you for support at this time as you were for us when Dad passed away. Mom and Dad thought a lot of your Dad....that he was an "A1 guy"!
My condolences as well to your brothers, Murray and Bob. It is amazing and rather sad that we have cousins whom we have never actually met during our adult lives, but I will be thinking of them too. Take care and I hope we keep in touch!
