Patrick Murphy Obituary
Patrick Murphy passed away Friday, January 31, 2020. Preceded in death by his parents, Richard & Jane Murphy, survived by three older brothers Dennis, Terence & Kevin (Lynn) w/9 nieces & nephews. Pat was born June 14, 1954 in Dayton, Ohio & attended Holy Angels for grade school & graduated from Oakwood High School, where he was a star pitcher for their baseball team. He went on to Ohio State University & graduated in 1979.
At that time, he entered the restaurant business with Victoria Station & worked his way up to management winding up in the 1980’s as a General Manager for their Fort Lauderdale & North Miami locations. Relocating to Cincinnati he became the General Manager of the Pavilion in Mount Adams.
In the 1990’s he went to Pittsburgh & became one of the senior managers of the Grand Concourse, a premier seafood restaurant on their waterfront.
Perhaps his 1st love was bartending & around 2002 he started bartending at Head First Sports Pub in Cincinnati. For the next 17 years Pat developed an enormous following working many of the Bengal games (even though he was a die-hard Browns fan).
Pat will be greatly missed by family & friends. A huge supporter of Cincinnati Police & Fire, in lieu of flowers send donations to Cincinnati Police Museum www.police-museum.org.
There will be celebration of his life resembling an Irish Wake Sunday, Feb. 9th @ 2:00 P. M. at Mr. Pitiful’s on Main Street in Cincinnati. www.mrpitifulsotr.com.
The mayor of Cincinnati has declared Feb. 9th to be “Pat Murphy Day”.

I was friends with and a co-bartender with Patrick in the Victoria Station days (late 70s). He was always such a friendly and happy guy! My sympathy to his brothers, Dennis, Terry and Kevin. Such a loss!

Pat was a wonderful man. I dated him for 4 years in the 1990's. We had such great times together in Mt Adams. Pat was very intelligent and had a witty sense of humor. I just found this out today and am deeply saddened by the news. I am forever grateful for those years we spent together. Until we meet again some day. With all my love, Nancy Lofland (Niedfeldt).

Pat was a true professional and a good friend. Ill miss his warm personality, great drinks, infectious smile, and terrible jokes (that always made me laugh). He was a stranger to nobody, and always made you feel welcome. He became a true member of the Cincinnati Police family, as well as many other families, Im sure. Ill be forever grateful that we got to meet and become friends.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
We will miss you Patrick.
