Dear John, Jean, Sandy, Sharon, Pat, Tom and Mike, I am so sorry for hear of the loss of your dad. Some of my fondest memories growing up are of playing basketball and baseball on your dad's teams. I so much appreciate the time he took to give me rides home from practice and games, listening to Ken Beatrice "Sports Call" radio program. The world is a better place because Mr. Murphy is part of it.
