Edward Murray Obituary

He was a member of the American Ukrainian Veterans Association, the Dante Literary Society, the 20th Ward Social Club and the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Turk was an incredible person who touched many lives. He was the life of the party and always had a smile on his face. Turk enjoyed spending his time hunting, fishing and being outdoors. He was an avid collector of American Indian and military memorabilia.
He is survived by his sisters, Shirley Fayocavitz, Scranton; Nadine Grove and husband, Kenneth, Margate, Fla.; and Christina Shenk and fiancé, Alberto Lozano, Turnersville, N.J.; nieces, Livia Gallo, Lindy Morelli, and Angela Smith; a nephew Michael Ortez; a "brother" and best friend, Henry "Te" Malone and his wife, MaryAnn; "nieces," Nicole Tallo, Mallory and Mackenzie Malone; a "nephew," Cliff Malone; great-nephews and a great-niece; his two cats, Transformer and Patches Jr.; and his "extended family," Paul Ludovici, Mike Wince, Kenneth Davis, James Tallerico Sr., James Tallerico Jr., William and Jane Masich.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Monday at 9:30 a.m. in St. Lucy's Church, 949 Scranton St., Scranton, by the Rev. Sam J. Ferretti, pastor. Family and friends are asked to go directly to church the morning of the funeral. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family.

We can say goodbye and see you later, but we are never certain of those words or their meaning. "Only God Knows." Rest in peace my dear friend. Rest in peace, kind and gentle soul.
