Another brother from another mother gone. Murray made my childhood fun. There wasn't a lot of money, but Murray was creative. We made ninja weapons, he made our bicycle wheels sound like motorcycles using playing cards. He built the swing over the creek. And yes, Murray was fast! So many good times..Murray wasn't afraid to live! Rest in peace brother. Westland STRONG!
