My condolences to the entire Murphy family. Murph you were just a kid from the north side of edgebrook and I was just a kid from the south side of Bridgeport. We hit it off from the very first day we met at Halligans and became good friends ever since. You became part of our Bridgeport family. All of us from the neighborhood loved you like our own. You always had our backs and we had yours. A north side Sox fan which I loved. I along with my friends and family in Bridgeport are truly saddened and will always remember you my friend. You were such a gently giant with an enormous heart. To the entire Murphy family again I am so sorry for your loss, if there is anything you ever need we are here for you all. Murph has touched so many lives from the north side to the south side and we are so blessed to have had him in our lives. Cheers brother Murph until we meet again my friend. Legends never die brother you will always be remembered.
