Henry J. Murry, 70, passed away October 24, 2009. He was born June 9, 1939 in Tuttle, Oklahoma, to William "WW" and Virgie Murry.
Henry served active duty for six months in the U.S. Army from January 1957 to June 1957 then the reserves until September 1964. After and during his service he worked for several different companies; the longest and the one in which he retired from in 2001 was Safeway/Homeland. He met the love of his life, Barbara Royal in 1971 and they were married on July 14, 1973. Henry and Barbara moved to Guthrie, OK in 1979 where they became members of Seward Road Baptist Church. Henry loved his Oklahoma Sooners, hockey, spending time with family, drinking coffee and being at the farm. The man we called husband, dad and papa will be missed and cherished. So as we say goodbye for now we know we were truly the lucky ones.

He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Barbara, of the home; three children Johnny Royal and wife Julie, Christy Maxwell-Dolan and husband Jim all of Guthrie, and Heather Sumner and husband Derek of Okmulgee, OK; six grandchildren Hunter, Cheyenne, Tylar, Cyle', Dawson, and Hallee, with one more on the way; brothers Billy Barton of Del City, OK and James Murry of Edmond, OK; along with a multitude of other family and friends.
