If i thought of every time dad made me laugh or i made him laugh or he asked how my family or friends were doing or how many times he volunteered me to help his friends lol,this web site would crash. He always tried to guide me in the right direction,i didn’t always listen i should have. He was my best friend n my rock,because of him i am the man l am today. I will try harder everyday to be a better man. I will always love dad never forget you. I wish i could have made you laugh one last time. I will next time i see you i promise. LOVE YOU AND DANCE ON
My loving father, my friend, and my rock. He will be deeply missed and always loved. I only hope while on this earth he realized how many lives he touched. If each of us live and give as he did the world would be a better place for all. I salute him and am honored to have him as my father. Edward James Murray remains forever in my heart. Love You Always Dad ❤️

This long week is over and it still feels unreal that I will never see or hear Chief again. Most of you know how great of a man he was, but I know how amazing he was as a grandfather and great-grandfather. I’m going to miss him more than I can express in any way. Thanks to everyone who came out this week for our family. It’s very obvious he touched many lives with his kind words and infectious smile and laugh. Chief, you’re forever in my heart. I miss and love you.
…always a smile… He made me laugh just seeing the joy in his face.

It is so hard to write about a dear friend. Ed is the epitome of a true gentleman, friend, and caring man. A genuine person through and through. Joan and family ~ our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time. May your faith sustain you, friends uplift you and gentle thoughts of Ed carry you through the tough days ahead. I know personally when I think of Ed, I have to laugh at the times he made me laugh, which was many and “dance” will have an entire new meaning as his graceful “step” across the dance floor was a toe tappin’ step away! Dance on my beautiful friend, dance on. You will be missed by many and loved by all.
Where to begin, Methodist South Hospital, S.I.U college, HealthFirst Medical Group, separate paths for years and then while working at the West Clinic the Lord brought us back together to share a fun time working together. I couldn’t have asked for a better person as a Dear Friend. Dignified, Gentle, Sweet and Caring man. I’ll miss you but will smile when I think of you “My Friend”. Until we meet again in God’s Kingdom may you celebrate your birth in Christ for eternity. Love you Ed.Tony & Jo Veltri
