James Murry Shaeffer

Would it be nice if we could somehow get together over a cup of coffee and remember our friend Murry Shaeffer.

You will always be my friend Sandy sitting on the edge of that wash back in the early 1950´s letting dirt and very old Indian beads flow through our fingers. That arrow you shot into a cactus stayed there for as long as I lived there in remembrance of you. Who knows, it may still be there. I didn´t know you as long as many of your friends but from from the 1950´s to now, you are my friend. GOD bless you and your family.

I will miss my best friend and lover. But you are now at peace with God. You will always be in my heart.

Murry, you were a good friend who will be sorely missed. I appreciate everything I learned in our conversations. Thanks for your wisdom. I'll try to carry it on.

Well, the day is here, Murr. You always teased me about my passion for chasing dead people (genealogy), so here's one last comment on the subject, just for you:

"Remember me in the family tree, my name, my days, my strife,
Then I'll ride upon the wings of time and live an endless life."
Goetsche
I won't say good-bye 'cause I'll seeya some day on the other side!

I was saddened to hear of Murry's death. I enjoyed working with in the Stuart Building in the 80's. He was a good, decent honorable man.

Murry and I were law school class mates at UNL Law School, and we also officed together at several locations in Lincoln. I haven't talked to Murry much since he left Lincoln, and went to Cheyenne and then Washington, DC. It was a shock to learn of his death. I will always have fond memories of Murry.

Our condolences to Murray's family. He was a great friend to us ..best man at our wedding, our attorney in a time of great need and a very welcome and enjoyable houseguest whenever he came through North Platte enroute points west. He always seemed to appreciate the peace of the country...We wish peace for him and comfort for his family. We will miss him greatly.

We will miss you, your humor and your unique perspective. I was fortunate to know you. God bless.
