Gosh, what surprize and saddness to read of Mr. Murphy's passing. My sincere condolence's to his family. My Murphy introduced me to metal working in a safe manner while at Arlington Junior High School. He was a wonderful teacher and role model. After graduation I joined the Marine Corps and on one of several trips back and forth from Dutchess County to our base in North Carolina I was fueling up on the thruway when lo and behold Mr. Murphy was fueling up on the same island. What a delightful surprize. Then fast forward to the 1980's and I'm selling tires for Montgomery Wards in Poughkeepsie and in walks Mr. Murphy with his son to buy tires. I consider it my honor to have crossed paths so many times over the years with this great man.
Sincerely,
Bill Sepe
