Murray

[HB Chris]

As Ron said, nice service and we had quite a few coupes and fellow enthusiasts. He was quite a handsome man in his day as this photo attests, Murray Fowler, Capt. USN-Ret. And thank you to everyone who bought books and parts from him, you contributed over $3000 to help his wife. When he shared his illness with us it was a much too quick eighteen months. As the chaplain said, Murray was always in charge and ran a tight ship and he decided ultimately when it was going to end.

To those of you who attended the service today: Thank you for being there and helping to represent those of us who could not.

Murray was an inspirational man and he will live on in the memories of the fine members of this forum and the spirit of our E9's!

Not quite enough for a 12 horn salute

 

[HB Chris]

Ah, but our coupes each have two horns so technically we had 16!

i started to say that, but ... i thought i would stay on the high ground side of things. the important thing was that you guys gave him a good send off.

I had the privilege of meeting Murray - abet over the phone - in the early 1990's when running the CS REGISTER. What a true gentleman. When it came time to sell our beloved CS, Murray handled everything. It is sad hearing of his passing, but I know he has a bunch of angels helping him polish every part of his heavenly CS. And, you can just imagine the smile on his face...

Murray, as we say in the Navy....Fair Winds and Following Seas my friend, until our wakes cross paths again.

We should try to coordinate a day this summer to have a "nationwide" coupe cruise in Murray's honor. Maybe it could be the First Annual Murray Fowler Cruise. :wink:

[rsporsche]

i'm in for the first annual Murray Fowler cruise

 

[Stevehose]

and everyone post pictures of their cruise on that day - kind of like those coffee table books that document a 24 hour period around the world.

 

[rsporsche]

each area is going to have to find some cool roads to go for a ride.

From the coast to Saratoga is a fun ride on route 7
How fitting to terminate at the Vintage at Saratoga!

 

[wasatch]

Saddened to hear of Murray's passing. Condolences to his family and friends. I spoked to Murray a few times over the phone in the last year and he was all that everyone has said. I'm glad I bought a few of Bluemax's parts, like an organ donation, my car has a bit of Bluemax's (and Murray's) spirit...

Scott,

The Great White is sealed in its tomb until April at least!
