Ron, E2, and I, F2, were Goats together in many, many last, and near last sections. There was never a cadet more laid back than "a tenth over 2.0 was a wasted tenth" Ron Murray. After graduation our paths never crossed but I bet Ron lived his life with the same "no sweat" approach that he displayed as a cadet. Well done Ron RIP Willy ,w March 18, 2006) I spent two years with Ron in E-2 and was in the pistol club with him. Although he was known to enjoy a good argument I never had one with him. He made friends easily and had many of them. I have not crossed paths with him since WP but I am sure whatever he did he did well. "Well done Ron, Be thou at Peace". Jack Jack McAuslan March 19, 2006) At both West Point and in later years Ron was a gentleman and, indeed, a gentle man. Fortunately we lived close by for several years and I was able to witness how often he brought sunshine and a wonderful sense of humor to others. Sleep well, Ron. I look forward to seeing you again one day. Roy Thorsen (MAY 4, 2006) We first met on (2 JULy 51 on the train from Worcester to Albany then down to the Point. As we crossed the NY state line I was informed by Ron that we could now have a beer (18 years of age legal then, I was still 17), which of course we did. Yearling and Cow years we roomed together, I was envious of his Glee Club trips with war stories. I had not seen Ron since 55 but talked at length about five years ago. A piece of me left with you, old friend! God bless you and keep the party going up there 'til we all show up. Dick Lilly (MAY 5, 2006) |
