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.

Oh No! One my absolute favorite teachers of all time. I learned so much from him that I purposely repeated several of his classes even though I did well the first time and would get no credit (Looking at you, Current events 1982- 1985). I ran into him years later and he remembered every tiny detail of our years together. I still quote him often and I am so grateful for his impact on my life all these years later. They broke the mold when they made Father Murphy, perfectly suited for a career as a H.S. history teacher- so smart, unflappable and permanently bemused at the antics around him.

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.

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.

I first met Murph at a teacher's picnic in the Pagenstecher park in 1960. We both hit it off and our friendship grew throughout these many years. 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 and dinner and had a good time in each others company.
I wish to offer my sincerest condolences to Murph's family.
Murph was one of the good guys! Rest in Peace my good and dear friend, you will be missed!

I am so grateful to Mr. Vincent Murphy for being one of the best teachers in my education. He taught us to read carefully, think deeply, speak articulately, write clearly, and take history very seriously. I send my deepest sympathy to the extended Murphy family at this time of loss.

Sorry to hear of Vince´s passing. I was one of his students at CCS and later in life his neighbor at Saratoga Heritage.

We met in 1960 at the teacher's picnic in the Pagensteture park. He was Navy, I was Marine. Vince was of Irish descent, I was of Italian descent. We really hit it off. Our friendship lasted over 60 years. We never had a bad word between us, we were admirers of John F Kennedy and while he drifted toward the Democratic party, and I toward the Republic Party our discussions were always with humor and respect. Since we were both history teachers at CCS, we had many discussions concerning our country.
My deepest condolences to Vince's family.
Rest in Peace dear friend! You were one of the good guys and you will be missed!!!
