I have really fond memories of Murrel and Helen. Our families met when my dad, Jim Williams, worked at PSO in Weleetka, OK, too, and very likely served on the school board together with Murrel. We attended the Methodist Church and I thought perhaps Murrel & family did, too. My mom, Jean, and Helen were also good friends. Over the years I believe the coupes stayed in touch, and when Murrel and Helen moved to Oologah, our families reunited, as we lived in Claremore. Murrel and my dad loved to hunt and we would all gather to have a meal after they had been quail hunting. It was a great time together, Murrel and Helen & 3 boys with my Dad and Mom with their 3 girls (I am the oldest). We were always welcomed. Such great memories of Murrel and I hope Helen will accept my deep apology for having just learned of Murrel’s passing. Our prayers go out to all the family. Al & Jere (Williams) Litchenburg

It was a privilege and a joy for me to work closely with Murrel for a while at PSO. His knowledge and his dedication, along with his great sense of humor and generally sunny outlook, made for a pleasant work day regardless of the problems that came our way. He was one of a kind. The world could benefit from more like him.

Murrel was a great guy; my very first boss and the first guy to chew me out for dereliction. He changed my life by taking an interest in me. He and Helen were great friends of my parents and seemed to always be loving and caring toward others. The world has lost a very good man..

I met Uncle Murrel when I was 9 years old. He was a handsome young Marine just coming out out of the service. He and my Aunt Helen were introduced by a mutual friend, Lois Horsley. They fell in love and soon married. He was a great asset to our family and we all loved him right from the start.
He will be greatly missed.
Nancy and Doc Webber, and family
