Very belatedly, I heard about Murray. Not too long ago he sent me a photo from my dad's bachelor party - thought I'd like to have it. He was so nice to me when I was breaking in - at Newsday, the opposition. A nice man. My best to the family. George Vecsey.

Dearest Family Members of Murray, I am so sad to learn of the passing of my second cousin. We were just renewing our friendship from January thru March and I was looking forward to more special times after our move here. I am so sad & my heart goes out to you. Murray was amazing. He was sharp minded & enjoyed life. He was so thrilled & overjoyed to reach 100. His enthusiasm was infectious. I was looking forward to more times with him. Now he is with his dear wife once again and both are with my mom as well. My mom loved them so dearly. They are all with the angels now. God bless you, Murray as well as all your love ones.

I will always remember the closeness of our two families growing up in East Norwich. There was so much fun and so much to share. I'm glad I got to see Murray down in Boca too. He was just as sharp in the elder years as in the younger. I'll miss you Murray.
