As a graduate of St. Bonaventure University I am well aware that it is the dedication and commitment of the Franciscan Friars that makes it an exceptional place of learning. I did not have the good fortune to have Father Murphy as an instructor, but I had the privilege to know him over the last 30 years. He was a devout and committed priest who enthusiastically epitomized the Franciscan spirit.

Rev. Murphy,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
