Not sure what to say?

I deeply regret the decease of Dr. Michael R. Murphy, a great scientist and leader in the field of bioelectromagnetics. Dr. Murphy visited my laboratory at the Graduate School of Medicine, the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, on November 4, 1998. Dr. Murphy gave an informative lecture on Overview of how US DOD deals with RFR health and safety (Research/Standard Setting). The seminar was organized co-sponsored by Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tokyo, URSI...

,Mike was a very good, loyal friend and colleague who was always supportive of me and my work no matter how controversial. However, he never let me get away with anything but provided his criticism with his unique sense of humor which took away the sting. He will be deeply missed by me and I am sure many others around the world.

Janet, Thank you for sharing Michael with us. Even if it was a short time. Tony and I enjoyed his fabulous company and his many talents. He taught us so very much. Prayers for you and your children and grand children. Much to you all, Tony and Raquel Flores

We will always remember our last visit with Michael at the Candlelight with his sweet smile...Condolences dear Janet and Family.... Donna and Louie Walence...

Janet,
David and I are very sorry to hear that Michael has died. We know that the past months have been difficult for you and your family and were hopeful that Michael would recover fully. Our thoughts are with you all.
Mary and David Stephenson

Janet, Shannon and Kevin...we are so saddened to hear of Michael's passing. Our warmest and caring thoughts are with you...what memories! Love from Russell and Brenda

So sad and surprised to hear of Michael Murphy's sudden passing. Condolences to Janet Fearn Murphy and to Shannon, her children, and to Kevin, and his children. Rest In Peace, Michael. May Light Eternal Shine Upon You.

Condolences to the family. He was an astute researcher and a fine person. He liked a book on hamsters I gave him one Christmas as it was out of print. He showed my kids around his hi tech lab which opened their eyes to science. He made his own pickles. He added a lot of fun to this world.
