CHARTERS _ Charles Murray. It is with great and everlasting sadness,
that we announce the passing of Murray Charters. Murray passed away
suddenly and peacefully in his favourite chair, 2 years after being
diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. Murray was born in Rosetown,
Saskatchwan, graduated from Northwest Central High School in Plenty,
Saskatchewan and attended the University of Alberta. Murray worked in
the oil fields as a teenager, for an electric company and then became a
proud member of the Elevators Constructor's Union where he remained for
41 years, working mainly for Otis and Fujitec. Murray loved to run and
dance, both of which he had to give up when diagnosed in 1994 with
Parkinson's Disease. He became a dedicated supporter of Parkinson's
Disease and developed his own free and easy to use website and was given
2 awards in recognition of his efforts in 2004 in Washington, D.C.,
which was named after him and 1 in New York City. Murray was predeceased
