Paul Francis Murray

Paul F. Murray, 69, of San Diego passed away in his home on March 27, 2020. Paul was born in Bristol, CT on January 2, 1951, to Margaret E. (Malley) and Francis J. Murray. He attended Bristol Eastern High School and served as a medic in the Army during the Vietnam era. Paul was a registered nurse at Sharp Memorial Hospital for 34 years, and caring for emergency and trauma patients was his calling. He was a mentor to many nurses, a patient and family advocate, and he had a passion for integrative healing. Fishing, camping, gardening and traveling brought him joy. He loved life.

Paul is survived by his sister Theresa “Terry” (Tedd) Johnson, Unionville, CT, his wife Susan, several wonderful nieces and nephews, and loving family all over the country to include Dan and Cathy Gross and Annie Gerhart of San Diego.
