“Wyoming has experienced an incredible loss. I rise today to remember one of Wyoming's most beloved citizens, Neil McMurry. On Thursday, July 19, 2012, Neil passed away at the age of 88. During his remarkable life, Neil made a profound and lasting contribution to the Casper community and the great State of Wyoming. Neil was a successful entrepreneur, a committed citizen, and a good friend. Throughout his life, Neil always demonstrated an enduring commitment to his family, Wyoming, and our Nation. He loved his family. He loved his home State of Wyoming. He loved his country. Ann Chambers Noble, a Wyoming author, recently wrote Neil's biography, ``Hurry McMurry: W.N. `Neil' McMurry, Wyoming Entrepreneur.'' The title appropriately describes this extraordinary man. He grew up during the Great Depression, and saw firsthand the impact it had on his community. In 1941, Neil joined the U.S. Army Air Corps. He flew over 29 missions in Europe as a turret gunner on a B-17 aircraft during World War II. Following his brave service to our Nation, Neil returned to Wyoming to raise a family and start a very successful business career. Neil was a man with determination, integrity, and a strong work ethic. He recognized the vast opportunities and great potential Wyoming has to offer. In 1949, he saw opportunity in constructing roads and highways across Wyoming.…”
