I am sorry to learn of his passing. I had the privilege of being a student of his at Uniondale and later I had the honor of working with him when I was a member of the Uniondale School Board. He was a great teacher and man. I am happy to have known him in both capacities and wish his family well.

I was saddened by the passing of Mr. Murphy-that's how I remember him from Uniondale High School, from being Assistant Principal to running the high school pool in the summers back in the 60s. It takes a good, dedicated man to serve, both in Education, and as a fellow K of C PGK. My condolences to his family.
