Murray, I remember when I first met you - Kevin told you I could sing - Id had one or twelve drinks at the McWatt Christmas party, shots of sheridan, baileys and God knows whatever else, I was trying to help you 'empty the fridge' haha!! anyway, I sang for you - You requested Adele, told me you loved Opera and classical music which surprised me, but also drew me closer to you as I shared the love of both too xx You were always kind, so funny and so ready to help! Kevin would come home when I was laid up with my back injury and always say - Murray asked after you again today, Ellie. Kevin adored you as do I, we didn't know you as long as some, but you enriched both our lives and you will always be a part of us, we love you. And Cathy, you are so special, and we love you too.

I met Murray and his wife when they helped Shane who worked for them purchase an apartment in Botany through my husband Paul Morrison from Ray White. We had a lovely breakfast with them at Ambrosia. He was a lovely man, very sincere and left an impression on me. Sadly my husband Paul passed away on the 10th February.

Murray McWatt - I knew you as a young teenager whilst I was the local Policeman there. You were always well behaved and respectful to others. You went on to become a very level headed, successful and hardworking earthmover always giving a friendly wave. I am sure that your Dad - "Mack" was always proud of you. He did set you a brilliant "old school" example of how to treat others. Cheers from Brian Walker.

Stories of Legend

Our condolence's to you, your family and friends

We had a great old time with you Muzza on all the duck shooting and fishing trips, you were always there to supervise the proceedings and the hard work of our trips and always had a beer ready for us once all the work was done, and celebrated with the best of us as if you had done all the work yourself (legend)
but mate we were just happy to have you in our crew, you were never short of a good story, a smile and many many laughs,
you will always be in our memories, we have shared too many good times to forget you, god only knows the affects of all the cigar smoke you so generously shared with us, not to mention the burn holes in the upholstery of most of vehicles and boats, but its fair to say you will always be with us forever in one way or another.
respectfully and thankfully none of us are ready to catch up with you just yet, but rest assure we will keep the good times rolling and doing what we do best that enjoyed so much

you can rely on us to keep the barrels smoking hot and the reels screaming , the beers cold and the cigars burning until we meet again

Rest in Peace Brother "Muzz"

from Brothers, - Gary, Aaron, Duncan and Lawrence
