It was a shock to hear he passed. It took a while for the new to get real for me. But l look at the man's life and said hey, he lived a full and wonderful life doing what was his passion. Ninety-seven years on this planet is a healthy long time. And doing so touching so many lives with his wonderful oration of F1 events as they unfolded at those race weekends that he commented over.
He set the standard for sports broadcasting, which he did, invoking all the emotions of the activities and competition of every racing moment he broadcasted to us. I got introduced to F1 on a chance encounter of flipping channels. I flipped into a broadcast of the F1 Monaco GP in 1985, right into Murray at full flurry of his animated commentary. I found myself hooked from that day on.

RIP Murray!
