Mary Ann, Diane and Family Members,
We're so sorry for your loss but know that your dad/grandfather touched "so many" lives in the town of Deseronto. I enjoyed your dad/grandfather as my grade 8th teacher and Vice Principle at the Deseronto Public School.
Jack Murphy always had a special part in our heart for who he was, what he represented and stood for, for the people and students of this small town.
We love you Jack Murphy and we have great memories of you that make us smile :)
I,Sandy,taught with Jack at Deseronto school. He was a super teacher. I always enjoyed his laugh and great sense of humour. Our condolences go out to your family.
