Not sure what to say?

All my sympathy to Lyn and the family.

I’m so sorry to read of this loss .
I did Vince’s hair for years and it was a pleasure seeing him and conversing with him.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Deepest condolences to Mr Murphy’s family. He was a great teacher who challenged his students to be better.

So sorry for your loss. Mr Murphy was a wonderful neighbor as well as a teacher. He made his best effort to make history worth studying and was an amazing teacher. I had the privilege of running into him as an adult and it was very nice to get to visit with him after all the years had past since high school. I will truly miss him. He was one of the good guys.

RIP Mr Murphy, you certainly were a favorite of your students

Mr Murphy was an excellent teacher. I have fond memories of his class that I took in the late 1960s. He was a good man. I’m grateful that I was his student. God Bless his family, may they find peace in the coming days and weeks.

My condolences to the Jill, Kevin & the rest of family. Your dad was a great teacher & I thought the world of him & i enjoyed every minute of his classes.

Murph was Navy I was Marine, Murph was of Irish descent, I of Italian descent. Both of us taught history at CCS. We both were admirers of John Kennedy and mourned his tragic death. He leaned democrat, I leaned republican. And yet we were great friends Our talks were always friendly and respectful. We golfed together, bet the horses, went to lunch...
