MURRAY RICHMAN, ESQ.

September 8, 2010

Murray was a friend for many years often confused by others believing it to be me. A wonderful man, a thoughtful advocate. We had much fun receiving each others mail and playing our respective roles. My condolences go out to his family and friends.

My family have received condolences as well, however, the rumours of my passing have been greatly exaggerated. Pun intended.

Truly a great loss.

Murray was not just my parents' friend, he was my friend too! I will miss him very much.

To my NYC fam, I feel your loss so deeply. I loved my great uncle Murray so much and will miss him more than words can express. He was brilliant, witty and so wonderfully loving. I hope to see you all for hugs and kisses at his memorial.
All my love,
Megan
