To the Murphy family, Sorry for your loss. Your father was a great asset to the town of Merrick, Cure of Ars, and more importantly, to you, as the patriarch of your family. As one member of a large family to all of you, cherish the memories and love that you shared with your father. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

To all the Murphys'- So sorry for your loss. So many memories of your folks and my folks together-your family coming over for dinner and having spaghetti outdoors in the back yard. Being at your houses in Merrick over the years. The way all of you older ones attached to a young one as your special child. But mostly it was the JOY that flowed from your family. I would watch your parents dance together and know that - that was love. I will always miss them both but I'm very thankful for all the wonderful memories. Love to you all -Susie

To the Murphy Family, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Joe was a funny, gentle, and all around great guy. Loved bowling nights in the Cure of Ars Men's Bowling League with him. He was there for my mom after my father passed away back in 1992. Great memories of him. My prayers are with your whole family. God bless!!!
