Mr. Murphy was my boss at the Baptist Sunday School Board years ago. He was a brilliant, insightful, kind man. This is a sad day - we have lost a wonderful person who had the intellect and the courage to bring about change.

A great person and co-worker, It was my pleasure to serve several years with him on the BFT board- He was always kindly, with sage suggestions and advice-one of the Lord's finest servants. John Minton, Tyler, TX

It was a pleasure and a delight to spend one long evening with this intelligent, interesting, kind and humorous gentleman, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Carol. Although brief, it was an honor to get to meet and know him. Keeping the family in my prayers. Love and peace.

A very large light has been extinguished in my life, but I have gained a new guardian angel.

I love you Uncle Ben and I miss you terribly.

A jewel of a person and always a smile on his face. His caring ways will greatly be missed but his spirit will live on through the good deeds of his family.
