Dear Jurate,

Please accept my condolences on his death. The sudden loss of Dr. Michael Murray is so saddening and tragic. I was one of his MBA students in Bahrain and I remember how proud he was of you when he was introducing you to us. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you grieve.

Professor Murray was one of those people that understood his students. He challenged us and showed us what we could be in this world. He taught us not only business skills, but life skills and compassion.

Dearest Jurate and Michael Jr.

We are so sorry for your loss. We will miss michael lot.

I entered DePaul Graduate School in 1985 and am honored to have had him for both business law and organizational behavior. Things I learned from him I have carried with me my whole career. I can honestly say he was the most influential teacher I ever had. He taught me how being curious was an incredible advantage, that learning should be life long and that you should never stop that journey. Thank you for your inspiration and God bless you and your family.
