Readers continue to write in comments on the blogpost on the obituary of Fr Canice Michael Murphy.
This comment arrived today and appears on the blogpost on the obit of Canice. But readers would most likely miss it, so here it is as today’s blogpost.
It is anonymous. If the reader who wrote it would like to contact me she/he can always send details to this blog via the comment tab and of course it will not be published.
Fr Murphy was indeed a legend, but more than anything one of the kindest and most generous human beings you could ever have the honour to meet.
As a student he made boarding school a less unpleasant experience, in fact he made the school enjoyable, and was a great educator.
We all had immense respect for him and recognised he had something 'special' about him. He walked the walk, and was the essence of simple Christian love.
He cared for the students, especially the quieter or less popular ones, and shielded us from danger. He went above the call of duty when it came to advancing our participation in extracurricular activities both inside and outside the college.
It was Canice 'spud' Murphy who made the college more a university of life and inspired many of us to pursue our passions such as aviation, engineering, business, etc.
We shall not see his like again, a gentleman indeed, a generous and talented educator and a true Christian in the best sense.
Thank you Fr Murphy, may you be now living a new renewed life of purpose and energy in the kingdom family God has prepared for all of us one day.
Thank God for people like you, who made this world a better place.
A pupil.
