To The Mury Family:
May God give you comfort and strength as you travel this portion of your journey. I worked with Rod at Shell Chemical-Geismar Plant..

Sincerely,

March 2, 2020

To the survivors of Rodney Mury I extend my sincerest and most heartfelt condolences. Rod and I played sports together at ACHS in the early '60's. We played many rounds of golf at Riverdale and other venues in the South Louisiana area.

Rod was an extremely intelligent man of great integrity, great understanding, great kindness, and unsurpassed Christian charity. I am most certain his reward was awaiting his arrival in the great beyond.

Please rest in peace Rod.
