Murray McRae Obituary
Born in Vancouver, Murray lived his entire life in the lower mainland and in Victoria during a stint in the Navy. Always a high achiever he was the star western sales representative for Tuck Tape for many years. After retirement, Murray and Colleen traveled, enjoyed cruises and happy times with the family at Black Mountain Ranch.
Murray was a true gentleman, who treated everyone equally and always made time to help and advise others. Family, friends and neighbours all benefited from his honesty, fairness, kindness and generosity. He was a witty storyteller and the family historian. A wise investor and a cautious gambler, Murray loved numbers and statistics and could tell you to the penny what a winning horse paid 30 years ago.
The family would like to thank the team on Floor 5 at Royal Columbia Hospital for their care and attention. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 30th at 2pm at the Inn at the Quay, 900 Quayside Drive, New Westminster, BC.
