Russ was one of the first people I met when I moved to MN and he was a great guy. I knew about his turkey give aways and had a lot of respect for his enormous generosity. I have many "Murphy" cue holders at Biff's and I know they are all over the country. The name Murphy will certainly live on for years to come in more ways than one. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.

That's sad, Russ and I were planning on playing some once pocket. Over the years I've seen him and when I was little he would show me a thing or too. He's a nice guy who loved pool probably more than any of us.

also to what Dean said about the Murphy cues at biffs, well I too have a pool stick that my grandpa bought from russ, after my grandpa died he gave it to me (It's a Meucci)

Russ was always the one to tell me he was not playing, but always ened up on the roster full time.

I agree with Tim Jr.'s comment "Russ loved the game probably more than any of us"
