Rick Crosby wrote a sympathy message

“I’ve worked with John Murthy for nearly 30 years but John was more like a father to me than a boss. John taught us that we were people first and employees second. John loved bringing us on company trips, taking us fishing, seeing Broadway shows and company picnics with our the families. This type of generosity is John. Anytime one of us needed anything, John was always there. We all lost a great man this past weekend but knowing John was a great gift that we all will have forever.”
