Murray, David Andrew: Peacefully at home on Friday, October 7, 2022 surrounded by love I have decided to move on to the next stage of my journey. I want to take this opportunity to say good-bye to my immediate and extended family, friends, customers, business, community and political associates. It is important that you know how I have enjoyed our time together and work to make a positive difference today and for future generations. I am proud to have reached my 96 th year, having celebrated my 95th birthday in August. I was honoured to be the husband and best friend to my wife of 69 years, Aileen Murray (nee Griffin). I am pre-deceased by our son Andrew David (October 25, 2007). I leave my daughter Pennyjane (Pj) Murray, husband Al Conquergood, grand daughter Laura Conquergood, her husband Jeff Hodder and great grandsons Darren and Ian to carry on our business of 68 years, and the many projects I started with the capable assistance and indulgence of our staff. 

I began my life’s journey in Toronto as the son of Spencer and Lina Murray and as the big brother to Paul Howard Murray and later brother-in-law to Arlene (pre-deceased) and then as Uncle to their children and grandchildren. Later I had the privilege of being the son-in-law of Alvin and Myrtle Griffin, and as brother-in-law to Vera Armstrong (Bill) (pre-deceased), John (Lori), Wayne (Nancy), Paul (Alice) and Murray (Clem) Griffin and Uncle to their children and grandchildren.To those of you who I was Poppa Dave or Uncle Dave to, I treasured our special relationship and hope that I provided you with encouragement to live your best life as I have.
I would like to thank the team in Dr. Petrosoniak’s office, the many Paramedics in both the community and truck  divisions, the teams at the Ross Memorial Hospital, Community Care and those in the Palliative Care outreach programs (PSWs, Nurses, Doctors and Admin Staff). The care I received was professional, compassionate and filled with many laughs. My family invites you to participate in the next leg of my journey by attending my funeral at the Fenelon Falls United Church on Friday, October 21st , at 1:00 pm, and reception at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre at 2:00 pm. The family will have a private interment at 3:30 pm at the Fenelon Falls Cemetery. For those interested there will be a Mason’s funeral at 11 am at the Fenelon Falls United Church. A Celebration of Life will be hosted at Nahma Lodge in summer 2023.
