Well Dad, this birthday has been celebrated on both coasts over the span of two months
and I've set up this web site to be a virtual ongoing party. Below you will find notes
from some far flung friends and relatives and some who are nearby as well. This is absolute
proof that the internet isn't only for stock quotes!
Happy Birthday from me, your number one daughter.
Ciao!

We've known Murray at least a hundred years or so - since we went to his wedding
with Greta, in fact even before then. He's always been good-natured and a
gentleman, except, perhaps, when it came to his business where he was (not is
now), a hard driving entrepreneur. His early interests were kite flying,
which we remember since he sometimes brought a kite along when he visited; and
we would go to Rockland Lake Park to fly it. His more recent (and more
sedentary) interests are stocks and computers.
The former of which he is most successful, but also improving in the latter
(we think). Another big interest is bedspreads and drapes. Murray knows
every store in every mall in Rockland County dealing with these items.
Recently, he has taken to walking along the beach at Reiss Park with Sheldon
discussing world politics in a manner similar to his late father-in-law.
During these pursuits with Sheldon, Bernita and Greta would escape to either
do some serious shopping or other things such as more serious discussions
about the children or life, in general. Here's to our sharing these interests
and our annual outings to Reiss Park for many, many years.
Happy Birthday, Good Health, and Happiness for many years to come.
Bernita and Sheldon
Dear Murray,
Have a wonderful 70th. Do you remember the seltzer bottle fight we
had back at Crown Street when I was a pre-teen and you were in your early
twenties? We were laughing so hard we did not hit each other with much
seltzer when Mom came into the kitchen and ordered us to stop.
Dave and I wish you a great day.
Love, Barbara
I asked my Dad to share some stories about your Dad. He told one story about how he
and Bob used to hang out with a group of kids on a regular basis and one day Murray
showed up and the other kids asked who he was and he said something to the effect that
"I'm the new kid on the block!"
Seymour, by way of Matthew
Murray is one of those individuals who engenders the trust,
respect, and love of all those around him. His open and gentle nature is expressed by his
commitment to both family and friends. His support and encouragement of others are
among his abiding qualities.. As a nephew I have felt his support, generosity and sincere
interest in my activities on many occasions. Happy 70 Uncle Murray!

Bagriesung foon Indonesia. Birthday wishes from both of us to a grand
gentleman and a great friend. When you're ready to treat yourself to a
birthday trip to this part of the world, your hosts and palatial
accommodations await you. Again, mazel tov.

Dear Murray,
You fooled us all. You grew younger and younger right in front of our eyes
and we never noticed that in fact you were growing older, for heavens sake.
How can you do it to us?! We ARE family, after all, aren't we?
Before we forget why we're here - Happy Birthday, Murray.
And here are some words of wisdom to make you laugh and to keep you going
for ever (footnotes are not given for the original authors of these pearls
so that we can take all the credit):
- Refuse to be ill.
- If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
- Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.
- Don't worry.
- Don't complain about growing old - many people don't have that privilege.
- If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault.
- Buy good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go
up, don't buy it.
And so, on this very special day, we wish you, from the bottom of our
hearts, good health and much happiness.
Love,
Yael, Michael, Elai, Nikki, and Eddan
P.S. Take good care of my cousin.
Wishing you the very best birthday and many more to come.
We have shared so many important occasions and holidays with you. Our
wish is to continue to celebrate with you for many years.
Love,
Nicole & Elai
