LE was born on August 11, 1935 in Williana, LA. to Denver Lee and Lucille (Slater) Murry, the oldest of 9 children.
emailAfter graduating from high school in Dry Prong, LA. LE worked for the railroad and then joined the U.S. Army. He was stationed in Germany for 4 years. After being discharged from the Army and having been trained in radar instrumentation, LE worked for several Oil and Gas companies such as Honeywell, Westinghouse, Cameron Iron Works, Aramco and Saudi Aramco in Saudi Arabia in electrical instrumentation. After living in Saudi Arabia and working for Saudi Aramco for 12 years, LE retired to ranch in Grimes County TX. There he raised Boer goats, Ostrich, Emu and cattle on his 100 acre ranch. At the same time he also worked for Aquilla Gas Company as the plant manager at the Holland Creek Plant in Anderson, TX.
In LE’s spare day time hours, you would always find him with many of his retired buddies playing dominoes. If he wasn’t playing dominoes and the weather was right, he would be working up his garden with his tractor and cultivator to plant a large crop of watermelon and cantaloupe. Night time hours found LE & Sharon going out to eat, visiting friends in TX and LA.,
going to the casino or visiting with Sharon’s children and grandchildren. LE had many friends in Texas and enjoyed getting together with them for a cold beer. He was a good man and would give you the shirt off his back and then buy you a beer. He will be missed.
