Not sure what to say?

Our sympathy goes out to all of the Murphy family.
My father, myself and my wife had been hired by Murph on several occasions to bartend parties. He was such a funny funny man. I just talked with Murph a few weeks back at Enterprise and was greeted like an old friend - he was just that kind of guy. He will be deeply missed.
Again our deepest sympathy from all of the Carmedy Family

Murph was truly an individual who had never met a stranger. We could call on someone he had never met, and after a few minutes he would find a common friend or relative. One time we were talking with a lady from Taiwan, and they discovered that they had a a mutual friend who was a nun in Taiwan. He knew everyone, everywhere, and I'm sure St. Peter is still waiting on him to finish talking to everyone in line so he can come on into Heaven! We'll miss you, Murph. You touched more lives here on...

Dear Anne,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father -- we didn't know until Sunday that he passed away so suddenly. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
Love, Scott & Beth Cevasco

Mrs. Murphy, Tracy and family-You are all in my heart and in my prayers today. Mr. Murphy was such a wonderful man and quite a character as well. Your entire family welcomed so many of us as guests, and made us feel like one of the gang. I feel fortunate to have spent time in your company. Take care and best wishes.

Jack was one of the "Good" guys, he will be missed.

To Carl:
My wife and I only met you father once or twice around the time that you and my son Joe III started at Miami University. However, I remember conversing with him for quite awhile and we got along famously. He seemed to me a wonderful individual and he did leave quite a legacy.

I had the privilege of knowing and working for Murf. He was a great man who never met a stranger. My deepest sympathy goes out to Judy, his family and all who knew him. The first year I worked for Murf he called my son Ryan on the telephone and played the role of Santa Claus, HA. He made us all laugh here on earth and I am sure he will do the same in heaven. I will miss you Murf.
