It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, and great-grandfather on April 13, 2017, in the Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow. Born in Indian Harbour Lake, he was a son of the late Nina Grace Riley. He was raised by his Aunt Minnie (Riley) Jordan after the passing of his mother from T.B. in 1940. Murray was a dedicated husband and father. As a young man he fished with his Uncle Wallace and drove a truck, hauling produce from Nova Scotia to Maine. He took a job with Stanley Reid Construction where he became a certified blaster, crane operator and heavy duty machine operator. He work for the company until its closing in the late 80’s, he then ran his own woods operation for a few years until he had heart surgery. In the years that followed he worked for Carl McGrath doing blasting and heavy machine operation. He was a tinker and jack-of-all-trades, and had a quick wit. He loved his family, hunting with his boys, working on machinery, building things and later in life taking long nature walks with his furry friends.
