Dad was a very hard worker providing for his family and extremely proud of his occupation starting as a maintenance mechanic at Uniroyal in Kitchener and ending his career consulting for various companies. He was also an avid collector of too many things, old cars, hit and miss engines, tractors, automotive memorabilia, pocket watches,….etc. Wayne and dad very much enjoyed attending auctions not only for the collecting but also for people they met. Mom and dad enjoyed their time up at Port Elgin with their many friends at the park. So many more precious memories that we will carry with us forever and a day. XOXO. To honour Murrell’s wishes cremation has taken place. The immediate family will gather to share memories and celebrate his well lived life at Crawford Funeral Chapel, Arthur. Spring interment in Greenfield Cemetery, Arthur. Expressions of sympathy donations to Canadian cancer society or the Palmerston and District Hospital would be appreciated by the family.
