    I’ve known Murray almost all my life, and remember countless Dearness gatherings in my parent’s backyard. He was a great man Joselyn and he’ll be missed. Xoxo

    Life is short and we never shared enough time together. I cherish every fun & crazy excursion of our youth and our serious conversations in our later years. Our connectedness lives through memories created and Spirit. I thank Murray for sharing his dance in life and connecting me with Jocelyn, Andrew, Amy, Sandie, Jordan, his mom and so many others (some who have gone before us)
    May you reunite in friendship and love. Until we meet again dear friend. I love YOU!
    With friendship and a tear,
    Wayne xoxo

    To the Fox family, I am so sorry and sad. Murray was a good pal from work and he always called me “Terrible Tonya” and I fondly called him “Foxy Lady” He loved his family dearly,(as well as his cupcakes) xox TT

    My sincerest sympathy Jocelyn – I am so sorry to hear of Murray’s passing. Please take comfort in knowing that Murray leaves us with many wonderful memories of us all working at the Dearness Home. His thoughtfulness,compassion for others, and his humour will be remembered by so many.

  17. Anita Wilson (nee Datema) January 24, 2013 at 11:14 pm

    Dear Jocelyn, you may not remember me, but I worked at the Dearness home 1978 and 79. I’m so sorry to hear the sad news and wanted you to know that I remember Murray well. I got to know him in the early days when we would take the same city bus home. I sometimes got off the bus with him, have a cup of tea and then get back on the next bus and continue on home. I remember him for his sense of humour and his compassionate way of treating people, both co workers and residents. He helped me transition from a shy country girl to the wordly city, and I have always thought of him affectionately. Please accept my sincere condolences!

    For some moments in life there are no words but this small phrase seems fitting “How very quietly you tiptoed into our world, silently, only a moment you stayed. But what an imprint your footprints have left upon our hearts!” We are so very sorry for your loss Jocelyn, Amy, Andrew, Micheal and Brianna
