Daniel McMurray Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A graduate of the JHS Class of 1969, Daniel attended JCC, then receiving his master's degree in counseling from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
An iron worker for several years, Daniel was then a counselor in Carbondale, focused on drug and alcohol counseling at WCA, and retired through counseling in advocacy for LPNs and their needs at Job Corps in Cassadaga.
Spending time with his family gave Daniel great joy, especially when it involved watching Buffalo Bills football on Sundays. Through travels to Mexico, Daniel also learned the skill of jewelry-making with silver, creating remarkable pieces in his later years.
Daniel will be missed by his sisters, Sharon L. (Douglas) Bergstrom and Kathleen L. (John) McMurray; his nieces, Jennifer (Paul) Hill and Jessica (Michael) Shimmel; his nephew, Erik Bergstrom; several great nieces and nephews; as well as his cousin, Lisa (Michael) Corbin.
A private family graveside was observed.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of one's choice.

I was Dan's aide, and he was more then my client, he was my friend and my advisor. Every week when I arrived to his house we would talk about how he was feeling and then he would ask me how things were going in my life. Then he would give me his advice. I would get done with his cleaning needs, then we would watch the baby eagles in their nest on TV, and we were both fascinated with the baby birds. When I was ready to leave for the day, Dan would walk to the door with me, we would say our goodbyes and see you next week, then Dan would say to me, be careful out there, Ellen. I can say that Dan was truly my friend. I will miss you Dan McMurray.
