Murray began his teaching career at Lake Weir High School where he taught math and coached football, basketball, baseball, track and golf. Some of his fondest memories were times shared with his teams and students over his years there. He continued his teaching career at Forest High School. He also served on the board of the Marion County Commission from 1975-1987.
Murray enjoyed watching his Gators play sports and he enjoyed playing games himself. He was particularly lucky at cards, starting at age 15 with the poker game he entered and won 2 goats. His luck at all family games continued throughout his life.
He continued his teaching career at Gaston Community College after he relocated to NC in 2000. He lived in Lincolnton and then Charlotte after he retired from teaching. Murray was grateful that his entire family celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary in Banff, Canada and his 80th birthday in the mountains of NC. He also enjoyed going to the gym for his physical therapy where he was known as Gator.
In addition to Frances, he leaves behind two sisters, Bette Forde and Gloria (Jack) Kenworthy; his four children, Murray (Cristina) Fugate of Coral Springs, FL, Holly (Chris) Scheppegrell of Charlotte, NC, Jason Fugate of Charlotte, NC, and Jeanne Fugate (Ben Zazove) of Los Angeles, CA; and grandchildren Brennen Fugate, Elliott Roldan, and Caley, Jacob, and Emily Scheppegrell.
A private service for the family was held in Ocala. A Celebration of Life is being planned for the future.
