I just saw this! What a cool guy Murray was. He lived a few doors down as I grew up and such a calming personality. I remember he read the meters for Hydro and I was 10 when he and his wife let me help them with their beautiful yard. Condolences to all, especially Murray’s wife.

Mr. Cooper (Murray) will be missed terribly, especially by his neighbours who saw him every day out in the garden and puttering around the yard. He always had a big smile and a wave which will be hard to get used to not seeing. Rest peacefully Mr. Cooper.
