Tommy always made me smile just by his greetings. When I was younger, it was "Hey there Lad!", it changed to "Hey my Man!" as I grew older. He had some of the best stories I have ever heard! I will never forget him. My condolences to Dorothy and family, Tommy will be missed very much. - Posted by: Vance Trippier (Friend) on: Nov 29, 2013

Tom (aka Bussy) got us to every game and back in the old Selkirk Jr. B Fishermen bus that I fondly called Red Rocket. He knew what part of the engine to bang on to keep the engine running, all this while the bus was still moving. My sincerest condolences to the entire family. Bussy will be missed.

Tom will be sorely missed by everyone in the community and all the 'boys' from the Petersfield Hotel. He had a smile and a joke for everyone and was always willing to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return. He and his beautiful wife Dorothy will always have a spot in my heart. My deepest condolences to Dorothy and family. RIP Tom. - Posted by: Jill (Friend) on: Nov 26, 2013

From the entire Murray Family please accept our condolences. Tom was a great man and will be deeply missed. We have many fond memories of interactions with him, from the time that we were introduced to our Bus Driver to the times spent tobogganing on the slide that was built in your yard! He always found a way to make us smile! We are saddened by his passing. - Posted by: Sheldon Murray (Family Friend) on: Nov 26, 2013
