So sad to hear of Murray’s passing. He was such a great guy to work with at WAB. He was no bullshit kind of guy who hated to go or have meetings. One of the best memories of working with Murray were out bets on who would get the kids outside first during the annual fire drill. You would think Elementary would be last, but really elementary teachers are rule followers so it’s easy. Murray had a bunch of teenage kids who were glad to get away from class and would take their jolly time getting to the space. He lost his bet every time. And man we would laugh. Miss him.
