Mr. Murray, I´m sad to hear of your passing. You were a great teacher. It was your classroom that I enjoyed and I remember how happy you were learning I wanted to pursue Astrophysics in college-I even did AP Physics hoping you´d be the teacher but you were not :( I was your student of the month for physics at Vista Murrieta `06 first graduating class and almost for sure I was one of your favorites :).

What a beautiful and loving tribute to Joe. I still can't believe he's with Jesus. Bob and I pray for you all nightly. We pray for you to feel the peace that only He can give. I'm so sorry we won't be able to attend on the 18th. Julia is getting married the following weekend. I was hoping it would work to be there both weekends but it does not. Know that our hearts and prayers will be with you. We love you all so much

Joe brought so much light to our lives. We are missing his presence every day. His beautiful soul will live in us until we give it back to him in Heaven.
