Not sure what to say?

Kathy and family,

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He helped out at my parent's wedding and reception at Jones Hall. He added comic relief to the evening and I'll always remember him for that.

I AM VERY SAD TO READ ABOUT JIM. ALL THE MURPHY FAMILY WERE AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS AND I REMEMBER JIM,HE WAS A GREAT GUY, EVEN IF IT WAS MANY YEARS AGO!GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.

Jim was a great guy. When we would DJ at jones hall, he always had a great story to tell and talked about his family all the time.
he will be missed, our thoughts go out to his family .

Jimmy,Mike and Patty,
What I remember most about Papa Smurf was his canny sense of humor & dedication to public service. Both Caledonia and your families have lost a true patriarch. He deserves a bench or tree be erected in his honor.
Best Wishes Always
