“Norm Murray embodied Hofstra Pride,” said Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz. His voice and his spirit will be a part of the fabric of Hofstra Athletics for all time. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.”
“Norm Murray was recognized as the voice of Hofstra athletics at Shuart Stadium for many years,” said Hofstra President Emeritus James M. Shuart. “As someone who was also a long time personal friend, he will be greatly missed.”
