Murray W. Simpson, a WW2 veteran and a 33-year member of the Cobden and District Legion, Branch 550, passed away at his home, June 18, 2016, in his 92nd year. In his generosity, Mr. Simpson bequeathed a sum of money to his Legion, Cobden Branch 550. After considerable thought by the Legion, the windows in the upstairs Banquet Hall were replaced, largely made possible by his generous gift. Mr. Simpson’s service, generosity and comradeship will not be forgotten. Legion 550 President Kent Mc Laughlin showed a plaque Joan Wasmund, (Mr. Simpson’s daughter). It will be placed prominently on a wall in the room to remind us of his generosity. Ms. Wasmund said her father, who was a practical man, would have been pleased with how his bequest was used.
