TRIBUTES

The passing of a good man. I was the OAS commander in Wanganui and Nelson. We sometimes trained together. Our thoughts are with the family. I have spread the word down here. Kai Kaha, Rex Morris.

It was a real pleasure to meet and look after Murray, he was a true gentleman and I will never forget his lovely cheeky smile. My love is sent to his devoted wife Margaret and the family on what will be a very difficult but special day remembering all the fun times you all had together xxx

Bert Hill Dunedin

Many happy memories of the 1970s days as supervising inspectors at Wellington, and AOS Officers. Sincere condolences to Margaret and family. Great days lunchtime or after work runs over Maida Vale with Graeme Wilson, Paddy Darroch and Taff Jones. Memories are forever.

Tracey Wood

My condolences Margaret to you and the boys. Murray was a wonderful kind gentleman and with no doubt will leave a huge gap in your life. Take care of each other. Xxx
