The man known to many in the area for the great distances he walked every day, in later years hunched over, and always at a fast clip, died last month, a relative said.
His name was Murray Cantwell. A relative, Sally Cantwell, said he was 88. She shared this notice.
Murray Cantwell, who was known to many as “the walking man”, passed away peacefully on October 30, 2019. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at Immaculate Conception Church in Maplewood on November 16 at 10 a.m. For over 40 years Murray walked up to 17 miles a day, and was recognized by many people in the mid-county area and beyond.
Rest in peace Mr. Cantwell.
Is this the man with the carved walking stick?
Does anyone have a picture of him?
Age? Don’t leave us hanging. Everybody wants to know if what they say about walking adding longevity to your life is really true.
Mr. Cantrell was 88 when he died.
