Albert W.

Murry

Albert W. Murry was welcomed into this world on January 11, 1943, by his devoted mother, Lois, known to her family as “Granny” and his two older sisters, Rozella and Alberta. They would later be joined by their little sister, Judy, where they were raised on their grandparents’ small farm south of Newcastle, Oklahoma by their mother and grandparents. This was the start to the extraordinary life of Al Murry, also known as “Dub” (a nickname given to him by his grandmother).

Al would go on to graduate from Newcastle High School while working on the farm. From there, he attended college and after graduating college he was drafted into the U.S. Army and honorably discharged.

He met and married Phyllis Pollock while attending OCU School of Law at night, graduating with the Class of 1973. Together Al and Phyllis had two sons, Jason in 1973 and Timothy in 1976.

During his legal career, which spanned 45 years, he zealously represented his clients, often helping those who could not help themselves. He was respected by his peers and admired by clients for his kindness and skill.

Even with the demands of practicing law, he always found time to help and care for his mother, grandparents, family and friends.

His character was most exemplified by his unwavering and steadfast love and devotion to his sons. Through their many trials, tribulations, failures and successes he was always present and encouraging.

He was there for school, homework, countless swim practices, and swim meets. He and his boys spent years hunting together with trips starting at 3:00 a.m. for a long drive on cold winter mornings to the goose blind or duck pond.

One of his greatest enjoyments was weekend lake trips with the boys, friends and family. He taught everyone to drive the boat, ski and zip-sled.

He continued this total involvement into the lives of his grandchildren, Justin, Ketner and Tristan. He would also attend their school events, swim meets, took them hunting and greatly enjoyed driving the boat with them.

For those reasons, he was simply the best dad ever.

Although he departed this life on July 28th 2026, his lasting impact on those around him will live on.

On Tuesday August 4th at 10:00 A.M., a Funeral Service will be held at the Eisenhour Funeral Home in Blanchard Oklahoma. Following the service, he will be laid to rest beside his mother and sister, with his loyal lab, Bullet in the Blanchard Cemetery.
