Arthur Anthony Murray

The titan of a brilliant brood, Art Murray could not fail to influence everyone in his wide compass. I spent 8 years as an in-law. Once one is part of this family, one is always part of it.

After reading Roger's piece, I have little to say, except to agree with him that growing up in such a household must have been a daily adventure and challenge. Music, thoughtful conversation and argument, games with language, travel--a rarefied atmosphere.

Thank you, Art, for what you have...

Uncle Art was one of a kind, the best Uncle I had.
He was always smiling, had a quick wit, and a great ability to listen. He was the first of family members to be called when some one needed assistance, he helped anyone who needed to be in the hospital. He was talented on many levels. I enjoy his piano playing, I was no match for him at chess, although he let me play, he was a master at chess. Edel an Art treated me to dinner when my children moved to San Diego. what a treat it was for...

Roger, John and all family; sending you all prayers of peace and joy. Wish I had gotten to know your Dad a bit better, Roger. I remember that he played the piano very well.

Roger,
What a beautiful remembrance of your father. Hold the memories close. You were a lucky guy to have such an interesting dad.

My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

To Edel and others,

I am one of Art's many psychiatrist friends and colleagues here in Seattle. I was sad to hear of his death. His obituary reminded me of his various professional pursuits as well as informing me of his wide range of other interests. I always enjoyed chatting with Art at meetings and at other gatherings like our department of psychiatry Grand Rounds at the medical school. He had a nice "joshing" sort of manner and was an easy fellow to talk to, either in a humorous or...

Dear Chris,

So sorry to hear of your father's passing. He certainly lived a full and successful life...and was blessed with a large family. I know you will miss him dearly. Our love and prayers, Ken and Marcia Tank

I have many fond memories of the News Year Day for many years in Palm Springs. George and Art are picking up where they left off, enjoying each other's company. They were like two peas in a pod.
My sympathy and love to Edel and the families.
Hugs,
Jean Longaberger

My thoughts are with all of the Murray family as you mourn your loss - and I thank Chris especially for introducing me to all of you when we were young,I was always made to feel very welcome by your Dad and Mom. Love to everyone, Ellie Menzies
