Dear Judy and Mark,
So Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad….
I have fond memories of Uncle Murray from our family reunions as kids.
We will be thinking about you both and the rest of the family during this sad time.
Best, Gwen, Mike, Jenny and Lindsay Smith
Our deepest condolences to Murrays family. He was such a fun fellow and great neighbour. Loved his cards and was always ready to take or give a joke. We will miss him. May your cherished memories carry you through the dark times.
Karen Dickins and Bill Heather.
Our sincere sympathy to Murray’s family. He will be missed at our clubhouse. We enjoyed his sense of humour especially when he played euchre.

Judy and Mark and all members of the late Murray Johnston. Many Clintonians as well as our Church congregation missed both he and Dorothy when they retired to Exeter. He was always a friendly man and always was up to a little humour in our talks. Murray will be missed by his family but may memories help during this time of loss. Regrets in not attending his service.
Our sympathy to Murray’s family. He did love to tease and it was always fun to be in his company.
Dear Mark, Judy and Murray’s extended family and friends. I have had the pleasure of knowing Murray for many years. He was always a gentleman, had a quick smirk when I teased him and was always such a great man to be around. It has been a fight for him since Dorothy died but he sure enjoyed the community of the people he was around in Exeter. He told me he was a busy man and that if I had to call –to catch him at lunch time. He will be missed by anyone who knew him.

Sorry to read of the passing of your Dad. When he was going through his treatments I was his homecare worker and I always enjoyed coming tofor my visit. He certainly was a very caring and loving man and family was his whole life , he talked often of all of you and the grandkids. Cherish all the memories and may he be your shining star in the sky.
