Murray’s love of farming started the day of his birth on the home farm in Usborne Township. Together, he and Beatrice raised a beautiful family, instilling their hardworking qualities. Off the farm, Murray could be found travelling, curling, or enjoying being along the river or lake, trying to catch the odd fish. Murray’s dedication to the farming community was shown in his 20 + years with South Huron Food Grains Committee.
