John (Pop) Murrell was a dear friend. The world is a much emptier place with him not in it. He will truly be missed. "May knowing that your loved one is in God's Loving Care, help make your grief easier to bear". With deepest sympathy to Margaret and the family at this difficult time. Herbert and Denise

Deepest sympathy. Mr. Pop was one of my favorites. Memories of his fried chicken at the rec league games at Stanley White. He always kept me in line and told my daddy Kenny Boo when I was cutting up. A true Pilar in the community.
