Murray was pre-deceased by parents Harvey and Marine Ingalls of Kathyrn, Alberta as well as brother in law Harold Randall.

Murray left Kathyrn, Alberta to pursue his love of hockey at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario and completed his education at SAIT in Calgary in 1958. He received his Alberta Land Surveyors commission in 1961. Murray finally fully retired from Special Areas in Hanna at the age of 79.

He was a very active member of the Hanna community.
