Richard Charles Murray, Sr. , age 77, of Marlton, NJ, passed away peacefully at his home after a brief illness.

Murray, Maureen O'Malley and Michelle (Jason) Bradley. Special brother of Patrick K. Murray, James J. Murray and the late William C. Murray, Jr. and Cathy Anne Murray.

Richard served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve during the Vietnam War. He worked for a period in the Automotive Industry. Prior to his retirement he was employed as International Gate Agent (CSA) for American Airlines, through which he was able to enjoy many travels around the world.

Richard was a lifelong sports fan, taking every opportunity to enjoy basketball, baseball, and golf throughout his life both as a participant and a spectator.  He often enjoyed scratch off lottery tickets and poker, passing along the joy of playing cards to his granddaughter Kaitlyn, who will fondly remember the nights he would come to visit with McMillians Sticky Buns or Danishes under his arm for them to enjoy while they mock-gambled with quarters.
