David A. Noyes & Company Mourns the Loss of Paul E. Murin, Jr., President

August 26, 2008—It is with great sorrow and heavy hearts that all the associates of David A. Noyes & Company announce the passing of Paul E. Murin, Jr., President.

Paul joined the firm in 1968, carrying on the legacy of his father, who joined the firm in 1948. A decade later, Murin, Jr. became President. Under his leadership, the firm grew from 40 associates to over 150, and expanded with branches throughout the Midwest. Most importantly, Paul kept the firm on a “true north” and prudent investment philosophy course, helping people build their wealth, even through uncertain economic times.

“Paul had great people skills,” says Chairman L.H. Bayley. “His clients sensed he was always very forthright… He was not the type of leader that said ‘I am at the front. Follow me.’ He bonded with his associates.”

Paul E. Murin, Jr. died suddenly of a heart attack on August 23, 2008. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne, son, Paul, III, and daughter Amy. The family suggests that memorials be made to the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago.
 
This loss is particularly heartbreaking, given the firm’s 100th anniversary celebration this year. The Board of Directors and the officers of David A. Noyes & Company addressed this in a statement: “We pledge to continue the legacy of our dear, departed friend, Paul E. Murin, Jr. And, in his memory, we recommit to keeping the dream alive for another 100 years.”
