We regret to inform you of the passing of Larry Eugene “Moose” Murriel '74. Larry passed on Sunday April 5, 2020 due to complications from the Corona Virus, COVID-19. Larry was born June 22, 1952 in Inman, South Carolina to the late Raymond Clifton Murriel, Sr. and Masie C. Murriel. Larry graduated from White Plains High School (New York), where he played football (and was All County) in 1970. He graduated from Wilberforce University, where he pledged Kappa Alpha Psi and was a Business Major. Larry worked in sales for years, which was really his forte.

Rollins,111; nieces, Tiffany Murriel, Bria Smith (Brent), Bailey Rollins and nephews, Tyme Murriel and Andrew Rollins; and a host of cousins, great-nieces and -nephews.
