As the only son of the eldest Smith daughter, Murray became a contemporary of his youngest cousins, Carrie and Les. He was born on time to enter the Canadian Air Force with Les during WWII. He studied at UBC for a time but soon left to follow in his father’s footsteps in the newspaper business. At 24 he married Frances and began to raise a family of three boys. The boys had their early schooling on Cortez Island, which lies between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. The oldest two, Steven and Michael, attended high school in Powell River which is a short boat ride from Cortez. The family operated a general store and marina on the island until about 1970 when they emigrated to Australia. Murray rejoined his original career by purchasing a newspaper in Boonah, Queensland. This business would eventually pass to Michael. Steven had his own business career in real estate, finance and development and Chris, the youngest, became an executive for a large multi-national paper company.
