Funeral Today

Here is the Obit for my Uncle. Funeral is today. This picture was taken on the lake where he and my parent's both have cabins.

E. Murray E of Baldwin and Spooner, WI died on Tuesday, July 22, 2008 at his home in Baldwin, at the age of 67. Murray was born in Pine City, MN to Florence and Emmett E on February 14, 1941. He moved with the family to Hudson, WI when he was a freshman at Hudson High School. He graduated with the class of 1959 and attended college at River Falls. Murray was employed with 3M Corporation, St. Paul, MN for over 30 years until his retirement in 2000. Murray is survived by his daughters, Amy (Michael) J and April (James S) E both of Baldwin; grandchildren, Kinsey and Samantha J and John and Nora S; his brothers, Tom (Vickie), Clay (Janet) and Joel (Diane); a sister, Kaye (David) M; his aunt, Lauretta T; 8 nieces and nephews; many, many friends and his beloved dog “Jake”. He is preceded in death by his parents. In the late 70’s and early 80’s Murray coached for the Baldwin Youth Hockey Association, taking them to the 1^st State Title ever, even though he had never skated. He developed lifelong friends with the players and their parents. Murray was an avid hunter and enjoyed the outdoors but mostly enjoyed the camaraderie of his brothers, nephews and friends. He was very well known for his hunting stories more than his hunting prowess. Murray looked forward to his annual fishing trips to Canada and turkey hunting in Viroqua. But Murray will be forever remembered as “Uncle Mur” to his nephews, nieces and many friends who made up the circle of those he loved the most. His beautiful home in Spooner on Big Bass Lake was the center of much family fun in the summer, while he also happily welcomed guests from everywhere.
