I find it very difficult to write something about Murray because the last we talked, he was telling me to keep strong and that I was going to beat my disease. Little did we know, it was him that we needed to worry about. But doesn’t that just sum up what Murray was all about? He always cared about someone else, whether it be a student, colleague or friend. He never wanted to bother or concern you with his problems. I guess what upsets me most is that I’m never going to be able to see him again. But one thing I’m truly grateful for, he knew I loved him.
This is a place to remember and celebrate the life and achievements of our principal, friend and colleague, Mr Murray Polglase. Please share your stories, memories and thoughts, so we can all see what a positive impact he had on all those around him.
If you would like to share photographs to add to our gallery, then please submit them using the Get in touch link and we will add them to the gallery. If you would like to read the speech made at Murray’s funeral ceremony, it is linked here.
In the future, we will make these messages and stories into a book for Murray’s family, and we know they will cherish the stories, experiences and connections of others with their husband and father.
