Thank you for always being so gracious, Ed. Our hearts are with his lovely family. Rest in paradise, to a true family man and a gentle, sweet soul.

He was named the recipient of the Evans Scholarship &#8211; a scholarship awarded to golf caddies &#8211; in 1963 while attending Northwestern University. This served as the inspiration for Michael O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s Danny Noonan character in <strong><em>Caddyshack<\/em><\/strong>. Additionally, Ed and all five of his brothers are members of the Caddie Hall of Fame, something William Murray Golf says the Murrays all &#8220;take pride in, as this game helped shape their lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his <em>Caddyshack<\/em> cameo in a 2015 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Ed said he was paid an extra $37 dollars. While he had been on the set to help out behind the scenes, director Harold Ramis insisted that they give Ed a close-up of his own in the movie. The moment comes after a woman is hit by a club, and Ed can be seen coming up behind her with a beer in his hand. It didn&#8217;t spark an acting career for Ed, who had no interest in show business and wound up working in broadcasting before later becoming a stockbroker.<\/p>\n<p>Another key figure behind the scenes of <em>Caddyshack<\/em> also passed away earlier this year. In June, puppeteer Pat Brymer, who controlled the gopher that feuded with Bill Murray&#8217;s character in the movie, also died at the age of 70. Along with Ed Murray, may they both rest in peace.
