He was a member of Mariner's Bethel United Methodist Church in Ocean View and former member of the board of directors at Sussex Pines Country Club in Georgetown. He was an avid golfer, boatman and fisherman.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Glenn L. Murray, in 1997; and seven siblings, Lloyd Murray, William R. Murray, Edwin Murray, Mary Long, Kathryn Button, David Murray and Linda Long.

He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Mary Lou (Evans) Murray; and daughter, Robbin Murray of Annapolis, Md.

A funeral service will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Bethany Chapel of Melson Funeral Services on West Avenue in Ocean View, where friends may call after 1 p.m.
