Not sure what to say?

I had plenty of laughs and good times with Paul at MHS, John Cella 1972-1979 Faculty 78

Dear Mrs. Murphy & Paul jr.
It was a pleasure to know Mr. Murphy. It was wonderful to see both of you at ur MHS.'68 reunion. It brought back the memory of you courting before you married.(It wasn't a secret no matter how you tried, just the way he looked at you gave it away) May all your happy memories together comfort you, Know also Mr. Murphy gave all his MHS students wonderful memories too. God Bless you. Nancy Hellriegel Rasmussen

So sorry to read about MR. Murphy passing.He was a all around nice person,everyone liked him.May the LORD JESUS comfort all of you. John Ritchie Bainbridge NY

I am deeply saddened by the news of Paul Murphy's passing. I don't exaggerate when I say that Mr. Murphy had a profound impact on my life. He coached me in football and wrestling for three seasons from 1959 to 1963. Besides my father, I spent more time with Mr. Murphy that I did with any other adult during those years. He was a dedicated teacher who selflessly devoted himself to coaching, teaching, nurturing and caring for those in his charge. His caring extended beyond the classroom,...

My condolences to the family and friends. I always enjoyed Coach, he had a great way of making workouts and classes fun!

So sorry to hear of Mr. Murphy's passing. I remember both Mr. & Mrs. from high school when they were "courting"! It was so nice to see them both at our 1963 class reunion a couple of years ago. Gwen Michael Trowbridge

Dear Janet, Paul Jr and family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I remember Murph as always having a smile and something positive to say to everyone. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

Paul & Mrs. Murphy,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You were ALL so central to my high school years... I know words can't offer much comfort but I hope there is great peace in knowing how many lives he touched in so many ways. Thinking of you -

I was one of his most reluctant driver's ed students. I am sure I also added some excitement to those training drives. He was a patient, wonderful teacher. He will be missed so much.
