In searching for Murray’s obituary I noticed a link to a local article in PressReader from 2013. The author interviewing Murray asked him questions about trends on precious stones and the jewellery business. The first quote from Murray in the article was “It’s a happy business”. Perfect fit for Murray to be in that business …… he was one the happiest people you could ever meet …. Always smiling, laughing, and joking. Sincere condolences to the Dunnette family. Thank-you Murray for being a part of our lives. Yvonne and Darren Hupp

Lisa and Kelly My sincere condolences on the death of Murray, I would never think I would be saying this but “Back in the day” of Dunnette’s and Sauders and a somewhat vibrant downtown Murray was such a card.

Hello Arlene, Mark and I send our deepest condolences. Murray was a man we had great respect for. His humour ( that twinkle in his eye) and kindness we will always remember. Such wonderful memories we have of the two of you. We feel very grateful to have spent time together and send our love to you. We are in Spain at this time or we would be there to give our sympathies personally. Donna & Mark Edmeades

Sending our condolences on behalf of my siblings Vivian and John to the Dunnette Family on Murray's passing. We remember both Murray and Arlene and our visits to Dunentte Jewelers on King St with our parents, Bruce and Jo Omand, through the years. He always had time to visit, shared his expertise and gave such dedicated service to all of his customers. He kindly helped my future husband pick out the perfect engagement ring for me and he will be remembered with great fondness. Elizabeth (Omand) Cresswell

It is with deep sadness that we have learned about the loss of Murray Dunnette. He was a great friend of my dad (Graydon Liddle) for so many years. Our hearts are broken with yours. May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have of Murray and all the laughter you shared with him over the years. He will be missed beyond measure.

Mr. Dunnette, as we used to call him when we lived on the same street, was one of the nicest people you could meet. Always met you with a large grin, interested in what was going on and enjoyed talking with us. Boy looking back he and Mrs. Dunnette sure had an abundance of patience with us even if we did ride our Mustang bikes across their lawn and left wet towels hanging off the chairs and empty Mountain Dew cans, around the pool. Reading through Murray's accomplishments, now that I have some what matured, makes me appreciate what a smart man and skilled entrepreneur he was. How does a guy get that much done in one lifetime ? In recent years Murray would stop outside brother Tom's house for a chat with him on his way to or from the golf course. Tom would giggle as he recounted something outrageous that Murray would throw at him. Thanks for being a friend to us and to our parents who also loved sharing some time with Murray! And thankyou to Arlene and family as well for sharing our lives. Wish we could turn back the clock and do it all over again! Just close your eyes and picture Murray Dunnette ........ there's that happy, enthusiastic, boyish grin . With Love Paul and the Reinhardt family.

Arlene..... please accept our most sincere sympathy as you grieve the loss of Murray. It is so very hard to say goodbye to your dear friend and companion. Hard things are hard, they just are. When Al & I would visit with Pat & Jack over the years at Lourdes Cres we could hear Murray's laughter from their back yard. A fine man with a wonderful spirit. He will be missed but not forgotten by his family and friends. Accept that you are thought of in sympathy & love, Sincerely, Judy & Al Philbrook

Friend doesn’t seem to be a big enough word for what Murray meant to the Klopp family. For as long as I can remember the Dunnettes we’re getting into mischief with my mom and dad. So many treasured memories. Hugs to all.
