Murry Staples

CHESHIRE - Murry K. Staples, 52, passed peacefully at home with his family by his side, from this life after a long and courageous battle with ALS.

Murry was born on Feb 20, 1960 in Enfield, the son of the late Jean & Harold Staples of Enfield, CT. Murry graduated from Enfield High in 1978. It was then that he played Semi-professional ice hockey in Canada. He then went to the University of Connecticut where he graduated with a degree in Business.

Murry worked for CBT (Bank of New England) as an Officer, Asst Treasurer, & Repo Specialist after graduation. He later worked for Yankee Energy as a Vice President of Collections in Meriden, CT. This led him to become a Group President at Northeast Utilities; which resulted in him purchasing R.M. Services and becoming President & CEO. In 2004, Murry sold R.M. Services and opened up his own Private Equity Consulting Firm called SJS & Associates. It is there that he worked until his diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in 2011.

Murry was an avid golfer and was generous to a fault. He had a very positive outlook on life and was always happy for anyone else's good fortune. Murry was a wonderful husband and father. The love he had for his family was seen through everything he did. But it was the birth of his two young daughters that ultimately completed his purpose in life.

Murry leaves his wife Nicole Kelly Staples of Cheshire, CT, along with his two young girls; Serena 7 & Cierra 4; his sister Jennifer Dumala Row and a nephew Philip Dumala of Maine; his brother-in-law Michael Kelly, sister-in-law Kim Heiligman Kelly, and nephew Michael Kelly of Southington, CT; as well as his wife's parents Vern & Jean Kelly of Cheshire.
