It is with great sadness we tell of the sudden death of Bob Murray, age 76 in his home in Creston. Bob was born in Creston, third Child of Margaret & Vernon Murray (Doctor).
Bob married Jan Foulkes in 1967 and had 2 cherished children; Susan & Scott. As one of Bob's former students wrote: If there was a Mount Rushmore of PCSS, your father is among the greats and is in our school forever.
He worked and volunteered with compassion, dedication & humour.
At the 1992 Butterfly Bonspiel Bob met Pauline, they married in 1994 and made their home on Kootenay Lake. With the addition of their beloved grandchildren Bob became water-fight Grandpa.
