George E. Murray, age 58, peacefully passed away on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, at Glens Falls Hospital with loved ones at his side.

He was born on January 24, 1965, in Glens Falls, the son of Calista (Streeter) Murray and the late Robert B. Murray.

George attended Prospect School in Queensbury, and then began his long career attending CWI day habilitation programs where he met many lifelong friends.

George enjoyed bowling in the Special Olympics bowling program. He also enjoyed youthful music, interacting in small groups with his peers, going to the toy section at any store, looking for the perfect toy to spin, ice cream and milkshakes, but his greatest joy was eating sweets.

George had the purest soul. He was a friend to everyone always laughing and sharing his most contagious smile. He was a curious man who loved to explore and discover new things.

George is survived by his loving, devoted mother, Calista S. Murray; brother, Berto S. Murray; nephew, Jeremy Granger; nieces, Melanie Granger and Ruth Brior; and many friends.

He is preceded in death by his brother, Joseph F. Murray.
