At the University of Delaware, he majored in Mechanical Engineering and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. Most of his career was spent in Salisbury, working for Dresser Industries.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Dorette Mueller Murray; his children, Keith Lawrence Murray and Laura Murray Ellison; and his brother, Kenneth Webster Murray of Wilmington.
