As a newcomer and new curler at King Curling Club some ten years ago, Murray and Paul Olsen were two of the most lovely gentlemen. Apart from their patience with a “newbie”, their easy going manners and sense of humour made those early days so enjoyable…I looked forward to seeing them and always finding something to laugh about every week.
My thoughts are with Karen and family at this difficult time.

We are saddened to hear of Murrays passing. He was a great person and neighbor . I will miss his company while watching a Blue jays game and having some drinks and conversation.

He will be truly missed.
