Not sure what to say?

Dennis was always involved in everything. he and Don Mills were great friends.

Dr. Murphy helped to make me a wonderful teacher. My thoughts and prayers are sent to his family.

Dr. Murphy was a big part of my experience at Keuka. I would have been 1 of first classes of teacher-wanna-bees (Class of 74). I loved my time at Keuka and my education training started me off well (35+ years teaching special ed before I retired). Dr. Murphy touched many lives and put his stamp on many future teachers.

One of my absolute favorite instructors at Keuka! He was loved by many. I'm so sorry for your loss.
