I had the honor of knowing Peter Murray through his friendship with my parents, Joan & Robert Johnston. He was always a gentleman with a kind heart and a warm smile. His friendship will surely be missed. My prayers and sympathies to his family.
Thank God for Uncle Peter and his influence in our lives. His love, support, encouragement and guidance have inspired our Murray family.

Peter Murray was a class act, a man of kindness and decency. His friendship with my beloved Dad, Leo Nolan, spanned more than seven decades and will always be an inspiration. These fine, gentle men are surely in heaven playing handball with vigor. God bless the Murray family.
Sending all my love and sympathy to his family. He was such a loving, caring and wonderful man. He always made you feel special. I am so grateful to have happy memories of him and know that he and Aunt Mary are together again.
