Stunned to hear about Jim Murphy’s sudden passing. Real nice, laid-back guy who was always ready to help out. He was also an EXTREMELY talented editor who edited a slew of memorable Boston sports videos. We had a blast back @ the Super Bowl in 2008. He will be missed. RIP Murph. pic.twitter.com/gPqjQunJ3C

Today @wbz lost an incredibly talented young man Jim Murphy.
Jim loved his wife Stacy and kids Gavin and Quinn more than anything in this world.
We spent hours working on #Patriots stories – and laughing!
If you can, please help his family.
RIP Murph
