I was and still am devasted to hear that Murf had been killed on Thursday morning. i’d only seen him the previous night after he’d ridden over to give me a drum lesson. Having know him for 13 years, i am still trying to come to terms with the fact that i’ll never see him again, and i know others who i have spoken are feeling the same. Numb. My heart goes out to Murf’s Mum, Dad, Brother and to his girlfriend Linden. It has been a priviledge to have know him and to have had him as a friend.

Is this the same Paul Murfin that used to live in Knypersley? I have been desperately trying to get hold of him to check he is OK but no response…..
Si Waite
Yes it is. Paul moved to Oulton a few years ago.
I am honoured to have known him. There is a big hole in the world without him here.
