Timothy Murray Obituary
Born in Schenectady, New York, Tim moved with his family to Hollywood, Florida where he graduated from McArthur High School. He was a master carpenter working in the construction industry for many years and contributed greatly to the rebuilding of South Florida after Hurricane Andrew. Tim was an avid fan of the New York Mets making trips to Shea stadium and later the Tampa Bay Rays. A lover of all kinds of music, he was an ace at music trivia. He was a passionate golf enthusiast always looking forward to the games with his son or brothers. Tim was very much a family man with family coming first and always in mind. He loved animals having many throughout the years, they were always rescues. This strong, gentle giant of a man was always willing to help wherever needed. He will be missed by many.
He was preceded in death by parents, Elizabeth A. and Leonard A. Murray, and his brother, Daniel A. Murray. He is survived by seven children: Lisa Erickson of Manassas Park, VA (grandchildren Alanna and Brandon Gonzalez); Timothy J. Murray, Jr. (Gina) of Fredericksburg, VA (grandchildren Maddie, Mollie, and TJ, III); Elizabeth Murray of Chesapeake, VA (grandson Keegan); Theodore Murray of Melbourne, FL; Devin Capriola, granddaughter Anabella of Coral Springs, Fl; Danielle Hines of Holiday, FL; Amber Hines (David) grandchildren Bryson and Elli of Holiday, FL; and six siblings: Mary Rogowski (Stan) of Woodbine, GA; Kathleen Livingston of Schenectady, NY; Susan Kirk (Mike) of Loudon, TN; Leonard A.
