You were plain and simple a great bloke and human, as Sam said: "She knew how to pick em". You didn't let your role go to your head and you treated everyone as you wanted to be treated, in your kind, calm and laid back Aussie way. It is so true, it is the little things that matter, you always asked others how they were doing, said g'day on the way past and had a smile and always thought of others before yourself. You were a true educator and always had the kids and the staff's back. The "golf day" will always stay in my memories as will your inner rockstar that we saw on stage a few times. You had it figured out Murray, you lived for and loved your family and knew that you can truly make a difference with the world's future. I am lucky to have known you and worked with you. R.I.P
