By all accounts, Muzza was a very laid back character, a great Detective and loved his old Holden EH sedan.
He was, apparently, working for Border Force ( Customs ) since leaving NSW Police Force until recently due to a decrease in quality of life.

A beautiful service for beautiful, kind, funny and exceptional man. I first spotted Murray in Woolworths in Grafton and thought he was absolutely gorgeous – and he was, inside and out. We became friends but lost touch. We met up again some 20 years later and remained in contact . I was always amazed at what he was up to – he led such an interesting life and no doubt impacted on so many in good ways. A life well lived – he was loved by many. RIP Murray, Sally and Grace xx
Murray – we will miss you. Such a beautiful soul. Strong and gentle man. A great friend. All our love, Stephen (Murphy) and Suzie. XXXX

Murray was a man of very high personal and professional standards. He spent his life protecting others, putting the lives and well-being of others before his own. He had a sharp mind and a very dry wit. I will always remember sitting in his TV room filling in my notes while he was watching British Train Journeys. Murray made a statement about the presenter, Saying, ” That block can fight.” I looked at the TV and said, “How do you know that?” Murray said, says, yeah , he’s a really good fighter for sure!” Again l looked at the TV presented and notice the very bright hot pink trousers and fluro green shirt with red shinning shoes and l burst out laughing! I realised he was saying that the presenter had to be a great fighter to wear those clothes and survive. Such was the diversity of Murrays personality. I could honestly say that Murray always emitted a sense of safety and comfort whenever you were around him. It was difficult for him to accept the support as he was such an independent and strong person but eventually forged strong and lasting friendships in the least likely places. I feel blessed to have known him and grateful for the memories. RIP Murray, until we meet again.
An Officer and a gentleman RIP In our prayers always Pete & Kaye Scott
Kind at heart, cherished by the heart. Deep in thought, thought of deeply. Explorer, adventure awaits you Murray. May your kindness, and sense of adventure bring you love and light in the next world. God bless love Jodie, Andrew and Andy xox
Muz Wilson was undoubtedly the coolest cop I ever met. He had a effortless way about him and was larger than life. That said he cared deeply about his profession and always did the right thing. The world is a lesser place without him in it Critch
Muzza, there are no words that can describe the sadness all your friends and family feel. It would be hard pressed to find anyone who didn’t love and respect you mate, even the many crooks you ushered into the dock! You took me under your wing and were like a big brother when Bondi & Waverley Detectives joined as one, now known as Eastern Suburbs. Many a young Police Officer would later learn from your distinct style. I’ll always remember the numerous Sunday sessions at watering holes around the Eastern Suburbs and the occasional motor bike ride to various locations. A specific memory comes to mind when a few of us travelled by the Indian Pacific train from Sydney to Broken Hill (19 hrs) to visit your new digs after you transferred there. Train cattle class wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Nevertheless, you showed us around and we had a ball..! As fate would later have it, we found ourselves living beside one another in Kirra (QLD) opposite the beach for a period of time before you headed up to the Northern Territory for work. You were taken to young. I am sorry that I am unable to attend your funeral service in person. I will be thinking of you, your family and the many memories whilst viewing on line. Rest in peace my friend. Cameron Miller (Burger)
RIP Muzza! Gone way too soon. A great bloke, great colleague and a true gentleman. We shared many laughs and work shifts together at Waverley! I’m sure there’s a cold beer or two and an immaculate EH Holden waiting for you in heaven
