I received a call from Juile, while at work, What a Heartbreaking conversation. This was such a shock. My condolences to Joy & family, Especially Sophie. Murry & joy were / are wounderful neighbours to have for the 15 yrs I’ve lived in Hawera. Murry is a great person wth love, respect , and a great person to have a yarn with. To Sophie take care of your nana, she will be there for you. Thank you Murry for looking after my cats, Especially Fatty. Ranga ( cat) is always welcome over for a feed. Joy I’m next door if you kneed me. Murry is Bloody Good Guy, Rest in Peace.

What a loss… my friendship with Jules kinda made me extended family. I shared many great times, stories, laughs, cups of tea, poached eggs for brekkie, bread & butter with tea, summers at Urenui, sleepovers at Caledonia & Dixon, the odd beer with Murray on members night at STC. The conservatory was always filled with sunshine from the outside, love and laughs from within. A genuine and gentle character who has left a mark in our hearts and will be missed terribly. Be at peace and pain free Murray. Our most heartfelt condolences to Joy, Jules, Pete, Grant, Sophie, Lil, Jase, Bailey, Olivia & Hannah. x

To Uncle Murray and immediate family .. with sincere heartfelt condolences, he is at peace now and away from anymore suffering. Your Sister Joy has asked me to also send her deepest sympathies. She is very sad at the moment of the loss of her brother. She of course wishes she could be there but wants to send an out pouring of love to all. Rest in peace Murray you were indeed such a good buggar. Love from Karen and Joy xxx❤️🫶🏻

We will always remember Uncle Murray ‘Muzza’ for his gentle nature and the quiet kindness he showed to everyone around him. We will remember him for living his life with genuine care, always steady, always thoughtful. His love for Joy was constant and strong, and he took great pride in Julie, Pete and Grant. His granddaughter Sophie brought him a special kind of joy. Uncle Muzza leaves us with memories of warmth, humility and a life centred around family, a legacy we’ll hold close. Kind regards, Paul, Kim, Clayton, Finley and Trish Glossop

So sorry to hear of Muzz's passing Julie. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Such an amazing man, a true legend I’ll miss our morning and afternoon chats. Love you Uncle Murray❤️

Another school mate that has passed Murray was in my class at the Stratford Technical High School how time flies.
