    I’m a contemporary of Murray’s and am so sorry to hear of his death. We were classmates in school and at Temple Beth El in Fall River, MA. I enjoyed chatting with him in our frequent “mall walks” in the Swansea Mall. My deepest condolences to his dear wife, Gladys and to his children and grandchildren. May his memory be a blessing.
