I, as did Jim Miller, enjoy watching Pat play halfback for Northeast High School.
He was fast and elusive as he ran with the football, and everyone in the stands could hear his Dad shouting.
Rest in Peace, Pat.

As a graduate of Northeast High School, (1948), I attended every Football Game, Basketball Game & Track Meet that Pat Murphy participated in, enjoying every minute of them. It was also a pleasure to see his Father at all of his sporting events, cheering him on. Now, they are together again.

Coach Murphy will be greatly missed. His days mentoring at Westport High far surpassed the goals he had set for himself and his students. He was a Coach's Coach.
