Murry DePillars - 1938-2008
Artist, educator, member of AfriCobra passed last week. I met Murry several times and he was always friendly and engaging.
Details of the services are not yet

My source has asked that you please not call the family. They would like to grieve alone for the moment:
I was told that his wife Mary and his family were not encouraging phone calls at this point as they grieve. Of course, many of you know Murry and his family well and should support them as you see fit.
Let us think about Murry and his family, and let us reflect on his enormous impact on our lives and the lives of so many who stood before his art and were challenged and changed. He was endlessly generous of his time and his wisdom. I found that out personally when he bothered to guide me and set me straight. He was a compassionate, decent, and giving man.
