Not sure what to say?

the best dad you could ask for.

John Murdock was a mans man who was my best friend since the 3rd grade. Steve Smith and I were with John at Mass General and Spalding Rehab for most of the last 97 days of his life including the day he left us.

John was a friend the likes of which most people will never know. Every day I spent with John was better than the last. He loved life and fought for it till the end.

John I love you and you will never be forgotten! My life will never be the same.

Dear Murdock family, Dr. Wie informed me today that John has died and although I barely got to know him, he was a very special,likable person. He also seemed to deal with his disease and te total randomness of it with courage and .humour, I liked him very much. I hope his soul stays close to you who a are special to him to give you some of that wild courage and "can't beat me" outlook. Kellee S. Fiola, one of his therapists at Spaulding Cambridge

John,
Guess you will be sharing the "Small Bar" upstairs with Rick Mannard now.
Hope " 3's Away" is still being played!

Dear Aunt Barbara, Uncle Bill, Sandra, Diane, Donald and Doug, Fon and Megan,
I am deeply saddened by your loss. John was indeed a very special man in the lives of so many people! I hope that your grief will soon be supplanted by fond memories of him.
With love and aloha,

I worked with John many years ago in Indonesia. Always active and never without his tennis gear. Salute.

I worked with John in Indonesia years ago. Managed to stay in touch over the years via the grapevine. He always had a tennis racket with him as I recall. Guess he has it perfected now.
