GRAHAM DOUGLAS MURRAY It is with pain in our hearts that we say goodbye to a dear son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend, Graham Douglas Murray at the age of 66. Graham peacefully passed away at the Victoria General Hospital June 16, 2015, after a very brief illness with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Elsie Murray, his children Tracy Ross (Kevin) and Travis Murray, granddaughters Morgan and Kira Ross, and mother Marion Murray; also numerous nephews and nieces, aunts and uncles, and sisters-in-law. In death he will be joining his father Douglas Murray, who passed away July 4, 1992. Graham was born June 10, 1949 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and raised on the farm in Warren, Manitoba where he attended high school, and achieved his high school education. He married his high school sweetheart Elsie, June 20, 1970. Graham worked at Air Canada for 29 years, and started his own Telecommunication business in 1990, which was one of his greatest achievements, in which he also received many awards for his outstanding sales. His success was something to be proud of. Graham was particularly well known for his time and dedication to community, which included Warren Curling Club, Rec Centre (coaching hockey and baseball), Church Council and Town Council. Graham had many hobbies and interests including camping, boating, fishing, and sewing canvass (believe it or not); he also enjoyed a new found love of pickle ball. Graham was a friendly, hardworking, and easygoing man who was generous to all those who knew him. Although a quiet man at times, his sense of humour was sure to get anyone laughing. We would like to thank all the staff at the Victoria General Hospital, 4th floor, for their outstanding care and compassion shown to Graham during his time there. A viewing will take place at MacKenzie Funeral Home in Stonewall, Manitoba on June 21, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will be held on Monday, June 22, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at MacKenzie Funeral Home in Stonewall, with an interment at Warren Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba. MacKenzie Funeral Home Stonewall 204-467-2525 mackhome@mts.net

I was very saddened to hear of Graham's passing. Elsie I am so sorry. It has been many years since we have seen each other. Please pass on my regards to Mrs. Murray . She and my mom had become good friends when they became neighbours. My thoughts are with you, I am sure your family is a great comfort to you at this time.

My husband, Gary, and I met Graham and Elsie through the purchase of their cottage. We seemed to have had an instant connection, as if it were meant to be. Graham had Gary laughing pretty quickly and we were quite overwhelmed with all the "how to do" stuff that came with the cottage. Elsie and I got along so well, we decided that we were kindred spirits in a past life. So sorry to hear of Graham's passing.... I will tell my Mum, Dad and Gerry who are up in heaven to show you a good time. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Rowan Davis (Friend) on: Jun 21, 2015

Thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humour and friendship on many occasions at the rink and around town. Even got another taste of it last year at my "introduction" to pickle ball at the Stonewall Arena; he just waited for me to "fetch and retrieve" the ball. He stayed cool while I worked up a good sweat! Condolences to Elsie and the family. - Posted by: Wendy and Elvin Unger (friend) on: Jun 20, 2015
