2 Condolences for Paul Murray

  • My thoughts and prayers are with the Murray family. Paul was a great guy. While it’s been many years since I last saw Paul, I can say he was fun to be around, loved to laugh and generally have fun. Years ago we used to go fishing a lot and had great times with the gang, especially those times spent at parties at Vinnie’s house. As one of Paul’s friends said upon hearing of his passing, “I’m sure he’ll make God laugh!” RIP, Paul.
