Joe Murphy was one of the nicest persons you could ever meet and know. We had so many wonderful business trips with Cathy and Joe. Many great laughs and memories. Such a loss for all the Murphys and for those who had the pleasure of knowing Joe. Prayers are with you at this sad and difficult time. Herb and Louise Lyon

From the time I first met Joe 30 years ago back when Brian and I were in college together, there wasn't a single time when I was in Joe's presence that his ever-present smile and energy didn't fill the room with joy and laughter. I am fortunate to have had those times with him, and the world is a sadder place with his passing. My deepest thoughts and prayers to Bri, Chrissy, their family and all the Murphys.
