Dear Mendenhall family, I started teaching at South Side in 1986. Murray was an Archer icon. He was a well-respected gentleman and part of the "old school" staff that mystified me! They were so dedicated to the school and student body. He showed me by example what kind of staff member I should be. I'm so sorry for your loss and so grateful I worked with such a wonderful man.

Mr, Mendenhall was an important teacher that sparked my enthusiasm in math. I think fondly of him and his genuine friendliness, he was an important part of my 31 year career at NASA. He was a favorite person of my mom who taught at south side.

Murray & I played a lot of golf together where he sank a lot of putts with his Zebra putter. He & Miriam were regulars in our bridge club for many years. He & Ray Quance usually won the title of "Mr. Bridge".

Murray (Cindy), we were sorry to hear about the passing of your father. In Linda's senior year in 1965 Mr. Mendenhall arranged her first job with Joe Christoff. She more than appreciated his help and guidance that year. We are so sorry for your loss.

I was a member of the Math Department at SSHS with Murray. Also kept time and score book for many BB games. When I could not find my youngest son, I looked at the end of the bench in the old gym and there he sat.
My deepest sympathy to the entire Mendenhall family. Sincerely Dick Melton Dunnellon, Fl.

Murray and I coached football and track and field together at Snider in the early 70's, and he taught me many things that I would use in my coaching career. Thanks Murray. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Mendenhall family.

I was fortunate to have played basketball for Murray at Northwood Junior High and Snider High School. I also had the privilege of coaching with him at South Side High School. Murray was a “Class act” and I learned a lot from him. I feel that I am a better person for having known and worked with him. So sorry for your loss.
