My friend and member of the Board of Advisors of the Center for New Revenue Joe Murphy has gone the way of all flesh.  I am grateful for his help.  May he rest in peace.

Joseph Richard Murphy Obituary

If you knew Joe Murphy, you have stories to share, most of which are hilarious. His former students reminisce about his truly original sense of humor and irreverence, but also about his brilliance, preparation, and rigorous attention to detail. His colleagues describe an immensely creative, yet “get ‘er done” collaborative work environment, one which was summed up by one of his favorite phrases: “You can’t be afraid to put a wheel in the ditch!” His daughters speak of his generosity and support, but also describe someone who was “always down for a bit of ridiculousness and who relished the theater of the absurd.” When he left us on December 27 at age 77 after a period of declining health, we lost a true original.
