MURRAY FREDERICK CREWE

Dear Linda. I just had an email from Lori telling me the sad news about Murray. My favourite music is theCinema serenades cd you once sent me, by the Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra and Isac Pearlman. I will write you a letter. Love to you, Ralph, his wife and Emilie, Else

Very sad to have read that news.

I attended a masterclass with Murray at the Domaine Forget Summer Academy in Canada in 1998 (I think, or was it 1999?).
I had quite some courses or lessons with some of the "Legends", but consider Murray Crewe a trombone player of exceptional musicality and incredibly intelligent, helpful ideas about auditioning. His love for live was evident and also showed in his playing. When I visited the course, Murrays Porsche was broken and he had to arrive with a rented car (his sports car was legendary among the students). Its weird to realize that when I was a student of his masterclass, he was younger than I am now. He will be missed and the world is lacking one more unique artist who maybe was not an official superstar (he is not known here in Europe) but by his skills was.

Always remembering your talent, humour, giant heart and the love of your life, Linda

I had the pleasure of meeting Murray while working at The National Youth Orchestra of Canada. We became quick friends and I will be forever grateful for the summers we spent together. Murray talked about the loves of his life endlessly: Linda, music, laughter.
I never forgot your beautiful, kind heart.
You are missed. xo

Murray was an outstanding musician, friend and human being. I will meet you again someday, I am honoured to have known Murray for the short time I was blessed to. His humour, magnetic personality and laugh will forever be sorely missed. All the best the loved ones he left behind. Love to the Crewe family and thank you for sharing him with us. ❤

You have my deepest sympathy. May the God of loyal love comfort the family during your time of sorrow. Psalms 119:7

Murray lived life his way and it was to the fullest. We will miss his room filling laugh! Murray you've left such a hole.

Thank you for impacting my life the way you did. You taught me more than bass trombone, and more than music. I've known no other with the passion for life you had. You taught me more than you know. Thank you, Murray. Love you.

Murray was joy-filled, even in his illness. He was one of those special folks that just thinking about makes you smile. My heart goes out to Linda.
