Mr. Murphy was such a exciting and inspirational man, and always made himself accesible to me...and we both loved sports, so there was always something to be shared. I vividly remember playing football with Dick,myself,Dad and Mr. Murhy in our backyard and basketball from time...

Dottie,Richard,Donna,Danny and David,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know from first hand experience this was the hardest thing to go through with someone you love so much. To witness the struggle Dan had to go through and the pain he had to endure. The thing that gets me through my personal loss with my Dad is to know he is with his Heavenly Father, where he has strived his entire life to reach. I know Dan is also there enjoying eternity with his Heavenly Father. I can't help but...

I had the pleasure of working with Dan at the L-D Booster Club, and knew him through softball. What a great guy, and as an educator, always was thinking of the kids first...very refreshing! I know he'll be gratly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family!

Dottie, we were so sorry to hear of Dan's passing but how wonderful to know that he was and is a child of God--now completely and with Jesus who loves him so. We are praying for you.

I didn't have the chance to know Danny before he got sick, but if his family is any example of what kind of a man he was, then I can tell you he was a wonderful man. I know he was proud of his family. My life has been touched by knowing the Murphy's. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
