Alex Lelon Murray Jr.

A.L. Murray was born on May 24th, 1933 in Natchitoches, LA. He was a truck driver for many years of his life. He also worked for Red Simpson Inc. in the power line business. While at Red Simpson he hired and trained many family members and friends, not only about the business, but also about life and how to be a good man. A.L. was an outstanding role model and there are many people in this world that are better because of him.

Pawpaw was loved by so many and will be missed more than words can describe. His work here is done, but we will forever adore and remember him, and can stand taller and stronger knowing that he is with our Lord watching over us.
