27 Feb 20 - 10:42 PM (#4036498) Subject: RIP Murray on Saltspring From: Jon Bartlett I'm sorry to pass on the sad news that Murray Shoolbraid is no longer with us. He had reached the grand old age of 88 but his heart gave out. I'll be preparing a decent-length obituary in due course and announce the date of a Celebration of Life when it's known. Jon Bartlett |

It gives a very good picture of Murray Shoolbraid aka Murray on Saltspring. There are many hits on Google for those who wish to research him. He certainly was an accomplished man and he will be sorely missed. He was also a supporter of Mudcat. I have added him to the "In Memoriam" thread. My condolences to all those who know and love him. |
