Obituary of Murray Arthur Black

BLACK, Murray Arthur 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Murray in his 78th year with his loved ones by his side on November 20, 2020 at the Hamilton General Hospital.

Predeceased by his beloved wife Patricia, his father John, his mother Lulu and nephew Taylor David. Devoted father to his sons Jason (Kelley), Trevor (Stacee) and proud Grampy to his grandchildren Hilary, Gavin, Declan and Paige.  Fondly remembered by brothers-in-law Frank (Ruby), David, and nephews Neal and Steven (Lynsey). Murray will also be greatly missed by many relatives and life-long friends. 

Murray was a humble and quick-witted man whose smile could light up a room. He always made time for family and friends. Murray had a strong presence in the Stoney Creek community, well known for operating his second generation butchery from his family farm, “Black’s Butcher”. He celebrated and enjoyed life working through his retirement on many do-it-yourself projects, and one of a kind Mur creations which were always greatly appreciated.
 

Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the outstanding and compassionate staff at the Hamilton General Hospital who provided exceptional care during his final days.
