Dear Murphy's-


No doubt about it "Beez" was by far one of my most favorite people to be around. His contagious laugh, sweet smile and heart of gold will surely be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you always.

Dear Rich, Katie, Erin and families,


Iam so terribly sorry to hear of your dad's death. We all knew he was sick, but when death comes, it is still devastating. You have had a lot to bear for such young people. I marvel at your strength and respect the loving closeness that you have for each other. Your parents did a good job.





I so much regret that I will not be able to attend either service. However, you all will be in my thoughts and prayers,





With much love,


Rita Fink

Dear Rich, Katie and Erin-





Nenen and I are deeply sorry to learn of your loss. Tonight, on the other side of the world, the Bleers will be burning a candle in honor of your Father--a man who I always thought represented the finest aspects of our great city. Our thoughts are with you always.

Rich,Katie and Erin -




You guys know how awful I feel and sorry I am about your dad. I have so many wonderful memories of your dad - from the adventures of Eagle River - where he and Jim WALKED into town every day for the paper and bread - - and your dad squeezed into your mom's outfit.....the many BBQ's at your house with Murphy Bread, etc. Just too many to name. I loved your dad's stories!! He was a good friend. My heart breaks for you guys and I love you all very much.


Love, Nancy
