This story goes back to the summer of 1979 after the stag party that friends organized a few weeks before Dave Huether's wedding. At the conclusion of the stag party at the Brussels Arena around 1:00 am Murray invited us all back out to his farm. By this late hour everyone was " wasted " and Murray had an old junker of a car that he allowed everyone to take turns ripping around through his open fields doing donuts and basically misbehaving until about 4:00 am in the morning. It was a real PARTY ... with all our friends including Murray, Greg Wilson, Paul McDonald, the late Neil " Hoss " McDonald, Bill Sellers, Brian Huether, Terry Rutledge, Ken Rutledge, Garry Long .... to name a few ..... and many others. That was the kind of guy that Murray Cardiff was .... everyone was his friend .... always welcoming everyone to his home. He always had a good story or joke to tell .... he had a way of captivating an audience. Just a wonderful man ! He will never be forgotten. !

It is with great sadness that we heard of Murray's passing. Betty and Joan, we enjoyed the company of 3 of you so much in New Zealand and Australia. You were a fun trio and up for anything. We were privileged to have shared that time with you and especially Murray. He truly was a fine gentleman. In the world of politics it is a rarity. Our condolences to you and the rest of the family.

Our deepest condolences to the Cardiff family as you mourn the loss of Murray. Murray was an outstanding statesman for agriculture and rural communities. During his time as MP, Murray was very genuinely interested in people's concerns, passionate, fair and always did his best in serving. I always enjoyed our encounters and discussion on agricultural issues and Murray's thoughtful insight. He showed tremendous class and quality in everything he did and touched the lives of many. Sincerely, Brian

I am so sorry to hear that Murray has passed away. I enjoyed meeting him downtown when I was back in Brussels. One such occasion was the day after dad's funeral. He talked about our family's send off to dad and the stories we shared and then Murray told me some of his memories that involved dad that he thought I would like. He will be missed. My thoughts are with your whole family at this time.
