Started listening to Bob Murray on WCVS radio in Springfield, IL as a teenager and enjoyed listening to his great voice as a weather man on TV. Then later listened to Bob as he DJ'd on WFMB country music radio. Will definitely miss that great baritone voice.Janice J. RobinsonAuburn, IL

When we first moved to Springfield, we listened to Bob on the radio. We were among the fortunate ones to meet and become friends to both Sandy and Bob. We were so sorry and sad to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers to Sandy and his family.Lana & Steve Kindel – The Villages, FL
When a person of integrity and a practitioner of kindness such as Bob Murray passes, then it is fitting to pay tribute to him. He was indeed a lighthouse and an example to us all. We knew him through his service to people in Springfield and central Illinois over the years. Thanks for the memories Bob. Our condolences to the familyDon and Cheryl BridgewaterSpringfield, Illinois
I was a guest on Bob's radio show many times and always enjoyed spending time with him in the studio or at a community event. He was a gentle soul who found it easy to share his humor, give everyone a chance to promote their cause / non profit / business venture. Although always well informed he was also willing to learn about topics new to him. He was so proud of his mom, wife and family – sharing pix of grandkids and special memories. His family and the city of Springfield have lost a very good man ….. my sincere condolences to you. Sharon WhalenSarasota FL
To the Murray Family –We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers.Ed, Bobbi, Sydney & Riley Donath – Holy Family School
A man who can cheerfully embrace the idea of having his radio show being called "Beautiful Bob's Million Dollar Musical Memory Makers" and spend hours on the phone chatting with his starstruck teenage fans…a man who grows in his chosen career path to influence the lives of many in Central Illinois thru his honest & decent personality…a man who is generous with his charitable participation in so many events…We were very fortunate to have him touch our lives and our hearts. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us.
We met Bob at the Sacred Heart School Benefit in Pana, Illinois. We always watched the weather with Bob. He was a wonderful weather man. He will be truly missed by all of us. May God be with your family at this time. Rosemary and Kenny Horsthemke
Our sympathy to the Murray family. Had heard Bob on the radio and seen him a few times in Springfield. We were struck by his engaging personality and genuine rapport with people. Sorry to hear of your loss as he is a loss to the community of central Il as well. Sincerely,Andrea and Bill Johnson,
