    Just wanted to express my condolences to the entire Murtha family. As someone who grew up literally right down the street from Murph, I have many fond memories of him hanging out with my brother at our house. He was a good friend who would always make everyone laugh. He will surely be missed by all.

    I loved Murph. The news of losing him leaves an empty place for me. He always smiled at me and said Hi El! He just naturally made everyone feel like you were a good friend. I'm so sorry for his family and Finn. I'm so sorry Beth and Jill. Everyone loved your brother. He had the biggest heart.
