MURRAY, William Douglas

I had the pleasure of meeting Doug through my work, always so friendly, had many chats about life
A lovely gentleman that will be sadly missed
My thoughts are with Doug’s family

Doug, my dear friend and former Business Partner you are going to be missed so much.
I’m sorry I did not get to have a last coffee with you, I’m so sad about that.
Our phone calls were special and we always talked about a ‘million’ different topics and long… one even for 90 minutes!!!
We both laughed about that… most calls were LONG.
You are now back with your beloved Jill and your Maker…
God Speed you Doug.. Rest peacefully Mate.
Sue Marks-Curley and family

Will be missed but now with his beloved Jill. Our condolences to his children and grandchildren..

Although years ago, I had the opportunity and pleasure to play music with Doug and also attend and learn at his Judo dojo. I only caught up with him on rare occasions but in all these past years I always found Doug to be a genuine, honest and true gentleman, one of the world’s good guys. My sincere condolences to his family. He will be sadly missed. Rest in peace Doug. Neil Hicks

Doug, what great times we shared during our ‘happy hours’ chatting and sharing.
You were a true Champion and Legend.

I had the pleasure of seeing Doug every week at the osteo clinic. I was the receptionist and had many long chats with Doug about life, God and his ongoing health struggles.
He certainly made us laugh with some of his stories and he was the highlight of my week.
I’ll miss you buddy! Rest now. We will miss your smiling face.
Deepest condoloences to the family. He was a great man x

My condolences to all the Murray family. Our mothers were in hospital together and Dougie and I were born on the same day 3/11/43. Dougie had a lovely warm personality and if we ever met it was a lovely catch up over the years. Rest peacefully Dougie.

Deepest sympathy to all the family, we have fond memories of Doug, may he rest in peace. Evan and Florence Platschinda.

For me he was my sensei Doug, he watched me grow up and was one of my coaches. I am forever grateful for the time and effort he has put into me and my judo. He came to my nationals to support me and my sister and I am so thankful. He also graded me recently and was such an honour to have him so involved in my passion.

I can vividly remember training with and competing with Doug in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Doug was very passionate about judo and fought a hard match. He was also on the Victorian Judo committee for a while and was very good at representing the interests of country and regional clubs. I will never forget the times that he drove his taxi down to train in Melbourne. Thank you Doug.

Hi Doug my old friend the bad news has left me with tears in my eyes . I will see you from unit 123 .
