Barb and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Murray's passing. My family didn't find out until everything was over so excuse our absence. Our prayers are with all of you and all the wonderful memories we have will remain in our hearts. May you find the peace that only God can give and be comforted that Murray is in the arms of our loving God.

You did good Dad - I'll miss you - no more lectures. Love you always!

The thoughts and prayers of the Mount Carmel High School community are with your family during these days. May the saints of Carmel welcome James into God's eternal embrace and may Our Lady of Mount Carmel wrap you in the mantle of her love and care.

My deepest sympathy to Aunt Barb and family, Uncle Moe will truly be missed.
It was always a pleasure to see you guys at the Dunne family parties and gatherings.

May all of Moes family accept my sympathy.
Moe was my friend, a truly wonderful friend.

My favorite memory of Murray was when I was a senior in high school. I had just pitched a game that won Brother Rice the section title and a story was written up on me in the Sun-Times and indicated the next game I would pitch. It was a mid-week regional playoff game, so my Dad wouldn't be there. But walking out to warmup before the game who do I see sitting in the stands...Murray! I always remembered that and thought it was nice for him to be there. He always had a smile and encouraging...

Dear Russell Family, Our prayers are with you. May God's peace be with you always. Love, The Rizzo Family
