David Carson MURRAY
OCTOBER 23, 1938 – OCTOBER 28, 2021
Dr. David Carson Murray passed away unexpectedly in Halifax, Nova Scotia surrounded by his immediate family. David was born in Springhill, Nova Scotia to Dr. James Carson Murray and Marion Murray (née Burke). He will be dearly missed by his wife of 57 years Anna (née Grant), his sons Mark (Andrea), and Scott (Cora Sperry) and his daughter, Karen (Phil Court). David was especially proud of his 6 grandchildren, Luke, Benjamin, Seth, Reid, Emma and Laura. Leaving behind his siblings, Daniel, (Mary Helen) Harold, (Donna), Anne,Stewart (Chris), brother in law Ralph (Barb), and predeceased by his youngest brother, Bruce. David was educated in Nova Scotia and Ontario and in 1968 moved his family to Newfoundland where he worked as a nephrologist for over 35 years. David also enjoyed his involvement and teaching role within the residency program at Memorial University. He often commented, if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life. David thoroughly embraced his life in the Newfoundland community and had many wonderful relationships with colleagues and friends. Upon his retirement, David split his time between Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Ontario enjoying the company of his entire family. He will be remembered for his love of sports both as participant and fan. Above all else, he will be remembered by those who knew him as a kind and practical man.
A special thank you to the neuro team at the QE ll 5.2.
A celebration of life will be held at a future date when we can gather and raise a glass to toast this very special man.

Obituary
Bruce Murray passed peacefully and with dignity on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at his home in Toronto surrounded by his sons, James Carson, Toronto; Daniel Everett and his wife Roslyn, Oakville; faithful family caretaker, Virginia Gallego, Toronto; and his spouse of 47 years, Corinne F. Murray. Just 69 years old, his life overflowed with talents profoundly enriching all those who came within their scope: his singing started as a prize winning one-in-millions boy alto, developed into an extraordinary tenor instrumental in his illustrious international career as a vocalist and recording artist; his academic achievements built on his love of history, first a BA from St.Francis Xavier University and then a MA in history from the University of Victoria (B.C.); always a gifted writer, Bruce turned his hand to bringing to life his maternal ancestor, Pierre Belliveau, a pivotal figure in the survival of the Acadian people facing expulsion by English troops in 1755 (Piau: Journey to the Promised Land, Dundurn - 2017); these facets made him an inspirational Halton-based teacher of History, English, Chemistry (half of his BA was Science), Music, and director of 19 musicals (on a volunteer basis) to showcase his students budding performance talents; and after retirement, he partnered Corinne for 11 years in champion-level amateur ballroom dancing. With the help of his world-class medical team at Toronto General Hospital/Princess Margaret Cancer Clinic, Bruce appeared to win against pancreatic cancer but in the second round this terrible invader could not be routed. Bruce is also survived by grandchildren, Esmé and Otis Murray, Oakville; his adoring wife, Corinne, Toronto; and his siblings, David C. (Anna), Daniel A. (Mary Helen), Harold S. (Donna), (Morna) Anne, and Stewart, (Chris), all of Nova Scotia. He was the last of the children born to Dr. James Carson Murray and Marion (Burke) Murray, RN, of Springhill. A celebration of Bruce's stellar life will be held in Oakville post Covid restrictions to permit his legions of friends and grown-upstudents to join with his family.
