Not sure what to say?

I just found out today about Mr Murphy passing. When My husband asked if I knew him, I said "he was my favorite teacher of all my years at Simis" He made the biggest impact on me. He was also requested for each of my brothers. We all love him very much. I was friends with John III (looooong ago) and my heart goes out to you all!

My sincere sympathies to Judi and the family. John was an example of what good teaching is all about. I am blessed to have worked with him at Simis for several years. We had so many good laughs in the teacher's lounge. He lived life to the fullest. May you find peace with your faith.

John was my all time favorite teacher, Scout Leader, and a great role model. They broke the mold with him. Just a great guy. Best wishes to his family

I just heard of Mr. Murphy's passing and want you to know how very much my sons and my grandkids who all went to Simis/Meadows loved him and respected him. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

Simis would not have been Simis without you. God bless you and your family. With love, Jo (Judy Oxman) Madden

You were one of my favorite teachers you sure will be missed my prayers are with your family. Daphne Daly Palmer

John Murphy was one of my lifelong hero's. He gave unselfishly to many and had a positive impact on my life that I carry today. I loved the man and will miss him.
