Murray was a friend at PSU, remember him "tooling" around in his Karman Ghia. He attended my wedding, so sorry we lost connection through the years.

For years been trying to find an old friend, if this obit references Murray Dash who briefly attended Penn State and my wedding then I have found my old friend too late. Great friend and terrific guy. Joel Polin [email protected]

I was fortunate enough to get to know Murray through business. I was a Wall Street analyst that covered Cost Plus before, during, and after Murray was the CEO. When I moved to SF for business, we got to know each other even better. I remember him telling me some interesting stories of his aviation skills. He was always teaching - giving me pointers about retail that I was unaware of. Murray was a terrific CEO, but more importantly, a good, good man. I will always remember him, fondly....

We became friends when he helped me with my VW when we both worked at Pomeroys in Delaware. Kept in touch over the years. Denver. The pool guy had to have a pool in Thousand Oaks (through solid rock!). The airplane from the movie. Always SO proud of you kids. Always had fun with boats. And airplanes. And cars. And life. Wishing him a happy birthday 5/30. Wishing his family all the good memories. from Carol Aiken In Wilmington, DE

My memories of Murray go back many years, even then it was apparent that he was headed for great success. His intelligence, talent, drive and kindness all contributed to it. He had an especially close relationship with my Dad, and Murray always visited him when he came back to Reading. I know he was incredibly proud of his beautiful family. Please accept Elliott's and my deepest sympathy on the loss of this special man. May his memory be a blessing.... always.

I knew Murray ever since second grade. He lived at 610 N 10th St and I lived at 537 N 11th. We both went to 10th & Green Grade School. But much more importantly, we were both in the Reading JCC's Pack 10 Den 4 of Cub Scouts. Every Tuesday, after school, we´d each get to the home of our Den mother, Harriett Leisawitz. We did crafts at the Leisawitz home and also go across the street to City Park to play sports. Around 6 o´clock, Murray and I would be picked up by his dad, Dr. Meyer Dashe,...
