Dear Libby and children, and McMurray family, You all have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your beloved husband, father, and brother. Charlie was an outstanding Christian man, admired by many. Our world will miss him. May God bless you all with the courage you will need.
As Hospice chaplain with St. Joseph's, I felt from the start that I always received more from Charlie than what I was able to impart. He was a blessing to me as he has been for long years to so many others. On the Thursday before his accident, we stood under his back carport and he shared with me all about his love of opera, took me in and showed me his collection of records and CDs, and then found great joy in presenting me with a score of Handel's Messiah -- my personal favorite. I walked away so uplifted,...and he did that over and over again. God bless you. He'll be much missed.
Mike, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your Father. May God grant you peace and comfort at this most difficult time.
Mary Elains called me with the sad news. It was a shock to hear of Charles's passing. He was always such an optimistic, enthusiastic person, so full of life the way it's meant to be lived. To know him was to love him. I recall when I was seven and he was thirteen I was so impressed with the drawings he did of cowboys on horseback. They were an inspiration to me as a budding artist.
I regret I didn't see you all but rarely over the yuears, but each time I did it was a warmly rewarding experience. As I told Mary Elaine, Kathleen and I won't be able to attend the funeral ceremonies, but we will be there in spirit and in our prayers. His loss yo us is heaven's gain. Glory be to God for such a man!
With sincere condolences and love, Steve and Kathleen
So very sorry to learn of the passing of Charlie McMurray. He was a wonderful man who I had the occasion to be around at many St. Paul's functions. I went to St. Paul's with his sons Mike and Kevin. He will certainly be missed by all that knew him. R.I.P. Charlie
I am very sorry to hear about Mr McMurry. He was very dedicated to St Paul. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

On behalf of the Duplantis family, please allow me to offer our sincerest condolences. He was a wonderful family man, great neighbor, kindly, and full of fun... he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Mike, I saw the notification of your father's passing in the newspaper today. I wanted to send my condolence and I will pray for your family's strength through this difficult time.
Mr. McMurry was a good neighbor. He and dad were great buds during their St. Paul's Athletic Association days. He was a wonderful and joyful man to be around.
May he rest in Peace.
My prayers are with you all--Mrs. McMurray, Eileen, Mike and Kevin and families.
