It was my pleasure to meet Murnane several years ago, at an ARCE exposition in Los Angeles. I was very nervous, trying to get up enough nerve to speak to such a well-known Egyptologist. He couldn't have been more gracious, or go out of his way to put me at ease. We spent only several minutes speaking--I forget now what we talked of--but I was really impressed with what a like-able person he was.
I remember when I heard of his death. Wasn't it right after he had had some surgery? I was so shocked and upset at the news! We certainly lost a great scholar and a dedicated Egyptologist with his passing. I'm glad to see something such as this shows that he was highly thought of by those in his profession as well.

That would have been wonderful to have had the opportunity to meet him. He always looks such a decent chap in his photos that its nice to hear that he actually was.
I really have a lot of respect for his work and thoroughly enjoy reading anything of his I can get hold of.
I been downloading theses pdf files as I can, so will love having a look and see what they have put together in rememberence - what a lovely idea of somebodies to do that.
Thanks for the link Anneke!
