Maurice (Mossie) Murphy

I was so very sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Murphy. I was lucky enough to be one of his students in SMC. He was such a wonderful teacher and had the ability to bring out the best in everyone. He went above and beyond to help me through the leaving cert- I will never forget his kindness and encouragement during this time. I have such fond memories of him telling us Christmas stories or showing off his stamp collection! And he always had a joke at hand! Such a wonderful gentleman- my sincere condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to Mary and Phelim on the sad passing of Mossie.
Wonderful kind neighbour with a marvellous sense of humour. Will be sadly missed.
May he rest in peace. Amen

I was very sad to hear of Mr. Murphy's passing. He was an amazing teacher. I used to live going to his classes. He always started class with a joke or a funny story and really got everyone engaged. He had such a talent for getting, even the wildest student, back on side in a gentle way using his humour. I'm a teacher myself now and in awe of how he used to do this so effortlessly. Pure talent and such a gentle man. Condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Mary and Phelim on the sad passing of Maurice. He was a true gentleman. May he rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rip my friend .

Mossie was very much part of our childhood in the 80's and we were always excited to see his old blue Renault pull up outside. His visits usually meant cracking up laughing at his farcical songs or tricks, and at Christmas time he was the household supplier of the much appreciated selection boxes.
Mossie helped me enormously with secondary school Maths and I'm sure I tried his patience more than once..
He will never be forgotten.

Mary and Phelim, I'm so very sorry for your loss. RIP Mossie

Condolences to Mary & Phelim on the sad passing of your husband and father . Maurice was a great neighbor & excellent teacher .

My sympathy to you all on the loss of Mossie. Fond memories of him in Scarriff Secondary School and in Aughrim. Always a gentleman. Rest in peace.

Dear Mary and Phelim,

Deepest sympathies to you both on the passing of your beloved Mossie. He was clearly so well-regarded by all who knew him for his great intelligence but also his care, kindness, and sense of fun. He was deeply loved by his sisters and brother, as well as his nieces and nephews, for whom he was a gentle but vibrant presence in our lives; his twinkling good humour, the witty songs, jokes, brainteasers and puzzles; his generosity in the help he gave many of us tackling Maths for our various exams... I count ourselves very lucky that Mallow was frequently the first stop on your annual summer visit to Cork. We were so fortunate to have had him in our lives and we remember him with deep affection. Rest in peace, Uncle Mossie.

Dear Mary and Phelim, I was so sad to hear of the death of Maurice. I had the great privilege of working with Maurice in Sancta Maria. He was an excellent teacher, a wonderful colleague and a true gentleman. His great wit and humour got us over many a challenge while timetabling! Maurice loved teaching, always giving generously of his time and talents to his students and colleagues.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. May Maurice rest in peace.

To Mary and Pheilim, our sincere condolences on the passing of Mossie.
We have such lovely memories of Mossie when we lived in Boden Park. He was a wonderful neighbour, always smiling, telling jokes, showing us his magic tricks, jumping the gate to have a cuppa with Michael. We will never forget him and may his gentle soul rest in peace.
I hope in time your sadness and loneliness will lessen and that your precious happy memories of dear Mossie will somehow ease your pain. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
He will be sadly missed but always fondly remembered. Rest in peace, Mossie.

We are very saddened to hear of the passing of Mossie. He was a very kind man with a lovely gentle sense of humour.

Our thoughts are with Mary, Phelim and all extended family. Rest in peace Mossie - Leah, Danny, Sienna and Hunter

Mary Phelim and all of the extended Family my sincere condolences on the death of Mr Murphy. I am so shocked to hear of his passing. I had Mr Murphy for maths in Sancta Maria from day one and he also gave me private tuition in my Leaving Cert. I am always ever truly grateful to him for getting me through my Leaving Cert. I am very sorry for the stress I caused him. Mr Murphy was one of Sancta Maria finest. Mr Murphy was a legend and a saint. Mr Murphy was a wonderful teacher and person very thorough and professional kind very funny caring approachable always up for a chat a laugh. I have millions of wonderful happy memories of Mr. Murphy in Sancta Maria. I also remember the fashion shows he participated in and gave us a great laugh. I loved his cork accent. He always spoke so proudly of Phelim and I remember hearing about his cat Sooty. He always asked after my mother. He always said hello in Tesco Nutgrove and knew me to see. Always a pleasure to see him. God only takes the best. May he get the best seat in Heaven!. Mr Murphy you were one in a million never forgotten. Thank you sincerely for everything always and getting me through my maths I am always forever grateful. You will be missed. You are all in My thoughts and prayers. May you Rest In Peace Mr Murphy.

To Mary and Pheilim, my sincere condolences on the passing of Mossie.

I have known Mossie for as long as I can remember. I have nothing but happy memories of him. As a 5 or 6 year old, I recall going to a few Cork matches in Croke Park with him and my Dad, often not understanding why the two of them were getting either very excited (or annoyed!) about whatever was going on on the pitch! He would call almost weekly to the house and bring packets of fruit gums, and as a 9 or 10 year old in the 1980's, this was often the highlight of the week. During my teenage years, he gave countless hours of help to get me through Maths, and in particular Leaving Cert Physics. I have fond memories of him supporting my brother and me at underage cycling races. But the funniest memory of all would be his party pieces -- in particular singing "I'm my own Grandpa", which would have everyone in stiches.

So long my friend, rest in peace.
Colm
