Obituary Summary on April 1, 2021
"Murray's Toledo Blade Obituary sadly states he died at the age of 71
from a fall while cleaning leaves from the eaves troughs of his home.
This is even more tragic when we read of the richness of his life.
Nothing ever gained would be worth Murray's precious life.
Yet, I believe Murray and Eleanor would want fellow parishioners
to respond by being more careful with our own equally fragile
lives and the fragile and precious lives of all."
