"Hoppy" as we called you even into your early 20s, it has been many years since I've had the chance to talk to you.. You were always a good guy,, & kind. Your Mother, Barbara, & yourself lived in the home y'all owned on Mobile St., in Pasadena. TX, just a few blocks from my Grandmother, a few blocks from the Gentrys, a few blocks from the Brandt's,& a few blocks from the McClure's. "Hoppy"/Murray, thank you for always being a good example. You made it home, Hoppy. You are loved by many out here who have already gone home, & those who still have things to do here. May your wife & children know & find comfort in the fact you know the Lord. Prayers for your family..
