Ronald Martin Murray, age 83, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2023 at the Philadelphia Protestant Home in Lawncrest.  Born on October 21, 1939, he was the only child of Jules and Mary (nee Tomaino) Murray.

Ronald grew up in Oxford Circle where he attended St. Martin of Tours.  Following his graduation from Father Judge High School, Class of '57, he began his career as an antique auto upholsterer and would go on to own ABC Auto Upholstery and Top, Co. for many years.  Ronald's eye for fine craftsmanship and penchant for antique automobiles made him a highly sought after craftsman, garnering him business around the world!

Ronald was an active member of the National Chrysler Products Club (NCPC), the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) and the Crown Victoria Association (CVA).  Most recently, he was a member of the Philadelphia Modifiers Street Rod Club.  Ronald was also an avid model train collector, photographer, and race car driver as a teenager.

Ronald is survived by his four children, Marianne (Paul), Michael, Ronnie (Stephanie), and Gabriella; his eight grandchildren Steven, Christopher, Clifford, Dalton, Cameron, Nicholas, Joe, and Gianna; his four great grandchildren Scarlett, Juliette, Stevie, Jr., and Julian; his Uncle Joseph Tomaino and Aunt Rosie Flanagan; along with many cousins and friends.
