Murray Burton Blume

West Point, 1954

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by William DeFord Bathurst on June 10, 2010:

I was saddened by the death of my classmate, my company mate, and sometime roommate, "Moe" Blume. Bright? Yes Sir, he danced across the academic field like Fred Astaire. He was always good fun and always had great tales for us upon his return from trips.

I must believe that it was these characteristics that enabled him to fight his good fight against a terrible disease. I must bow to daughter Francine and family for their enduring love and care for Murray. Moe would say that he couldn't have done it without the team.

I pray that Murray may now rest in sweet repose - free of all anxiety and pain.

So, at the memorable party for him on the 23rd of May, I would hear him say, "Party On!"
