Jim Murray has been such a positive influence on my life since 2013 when his son, Fr. Steve Murray gave me personal RCIA over several months and Confirmed me on Sept. 22, 2013 and I received my first Holy Communion by his hands. He told me many things about his father Jim’s influence on his own life, including his daily Mass. I have done everything I possibly can to attend daily Mass ever since then through his example and Fr. Steve’s kind teaching. Love and Prayers for Jim and Audrey. Barbara Carr Portland, Maine
I worked in the Trust Department with Jim at Pueblo Bank and Trust. He was exceptionally kind and truly a wonderful man to work with. My thoughts are with his family. God Bless Jim.
I worked with Jim at Pueblo Bank & Trust in the 70’s. He was such a nice man. I loved working with him. RIP Jim. Sending prayers to his family.
The Lord has received an amazing man. Uncle Jim was a kind man, who loved deeply. Memories are filling my eyes today. Much love to the Murray cousins.
