HAROLD
He was born December 24, 1935, son of the late Elizabeth Edmunds and Charles Murray in Philadelphia, PA. He was also preceded by his beloved stepfather Louis Edmunds.
He leaves to mourn his wife Toni Murray; and his 3 children, Brenda Murray, Harold Murray Jr., and Monica Dimps. He was lovingly referred to as "Pop Pop" and "Dude" by his 12 grand-children, 18 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren.
Harold was the brother of 13 siblings.
He received his education in the Philadelphia public school system. He attended and was class president at Vaux Jr. High.

Mr. Harold Murray was a great mentor to me. I will forever cherish the confidence he gave me in my architectural career and I am so thankful to him allowing me to pester him into letting me do projects with him. He was an incredibly influential person with his drive to keep working on projects and how he was able to get things done. He will truly be missed and I wish I was able to honor him in person. My deepest condolences go out to his wife and family.
