Dear Murphy Family,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Murph’s passing. Although the miles and life’s journeys separated us after our North Andover High School days, the shared experiences with Murph will always be with me. What a great athlete, teammate, and good guy! From youth Little League baseball, St Mike’s CYO basketball, summer league baseball, and NAHS basketball & baseball, Murph was always there with his steady sports excellence and team play. I note that we shared the same NA mentors and coaches…. Bill McEvoy, Benny Lee, Bob Licare, Tom Powers and the NA Boosters Club. NA was a small sports crazy town in the 50s & 60s where everybody knew everybody, and the sports fed into community. Kids gained experiences and values that were transferable into future walks of life. Murph is a great example of this.
My Deepest Sympathy,
Ron McRobbie
