Murray HALBERG Obituary

I most remember Sir Murray at his home in Auckland where I attended ballet lessons with his wife, Lady Phyllis. He always had a cheery disposition and a quick wit. My sincere condolences go out to Lady Phyllis and her children. May he rest in peace.

I was lucky enough to be able to work for Sir Murray in the early years of Halberg Trust. Over the years I hope he considered me as a dear friend because that what he was to me. In my life I have only met a few people that truly has moana and magical eyes that can see everything. He saw something in me that I didn't even know I had. He didn't see my cerebral palsy, he saw my ability to do the job well and that made all the difference to my career. I owe Sir Murray so much and love he forever! Love Stacey Roche

I remember Murray from Avondale College when we both competed in Athletics in the Blue Team, he was a great inspiration even way back then. RIP.

A wonderful ambassador for sport and New Zealand. A fellow competitor { although I mostly saw his back ] as we came through the junior ranks of athletics. He will be missed and remembered by many. Condolences to all the family. RIP Murray. From Ron Wareham

An amazing man and great example of a wonderful, selfless, caring man, who did so much good for others. New Zealand is a better place to have had him here. Condolences to the family in your loss of such a special person. From one grateful Kiwi who grew up seeing his great achievements.

Remembering Murray from so long ago - 4:17:2 Halberg (on setting a junior mile record). Our trips to National Park, trip to Port Charles - many great memories. Sincere condolences to the family.

Please accept our deepest sympathy on the sad death of Murray. He was such a fine man - loved and respected by many.
Sincerely Wendy & David Fleming
