Not sure what to say?

I worked for the General when he was in charge of Logistics at CINCPAC. All the enlisted personnel just loved him. He caught wind that my mother was coming to visit me in Hawaii, and he made arrangements to meet her and had a photographer memorialize the event. He was a great man and will be missed dearly.

Farewell to a fine old soldier who served his nation selflessly. I was fortunate to meet General Murray after his retirement while he served on an advisory board in the Pentagon in 1986-89 period. He was a dedicated public servant, a very smart man, and quite humble about his many achievements.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. It is so painful when we lose someone we love so much to death. May the comfort and tender mercies of our Heavenly Father be with you all during this time and the days to follow (2 Corinthians 1:4). With deep sympathy,

My heart goes out to you at this time. I am truly sorry for your loss. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Reading Psalms 121 is a very comforting scriptural passage. There you will find assurance of God’s support as well. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
