Not sure what to say?

I had the great opportunity to work under Mr. Murray's leadership about 15 years ago. I will always remember him as a true humanitarian with a deep love for people. He always looked for the "good" in people and would never give up if there was a ray of hope. His legacy of business and community service will live on forever.

What a great man! We have all been blessed to know him. Jim will be an inspiration for me the rest of my life.

Having just learned of Mr. Murray's passing, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy and prayers to his wife and family. While I was employed at the Port Authority as an administrative assistant, Mr. Murray was always a true gentleman. He treated me and others with the utmost respect, and in spite of anyone's job title or position, he demonstrated that all people have equal worth and value. His light in the world will forever shine.

A true gentleman with a positive outlook and a smile on his face . . . all of the time. The Murray family is in my prayers.

Jim is someone you can never forget as he was certainly an upstanding leader in whatever he was involved in. ARC was one of his volunteer efforts and employees and fellow Board members have such great memories of Jim.

The world is a lesser place without you in it.

Kay and Martin please know that we are praying for you. Jimmy was a special person and always was so warm and friendly. He will be dearly missed.

Jim was one of the nicest men I ever met. I feel privileged to have known him. May Jim rest in peace, God has given him the blessing to come into his arms to assure him that everything is (now ok. I pray for his family as they grieve and may they feel comfort in knowing they will be together again someday.

"I wish I could take out the reverse gear on all our trucks and we'd avoid accidents and anybody getting hurt - employees would have to drive forward." Maybe an unusual tribute, yet this represents Jim: creative, thoughtful, positive and thinking about how to get it done. Thanks, Jim. And you always were a giver - in the company, in the community, and always making sure your guests left with something. Kay and Martin - you have our sympathy.
