Dear Tracey. We were saddened to hear of Murray’s passing. Please accept our condolences on the loss of your beloved husband.
I am so sorry to hear of this. Murray was a very kind man, and often the first call I made in Wawa when I needed help with the car or was stuck due to snow. He clearly loved his family, and his town.
