Not sure what to say?

I was sad to hear of your fathers passing. He was always a great guy and a respected business man. It seems like all the great guys and founding businessmen in waltham are leaving us. I do know that Tim & Shawn are following in his shoes.

My grandfather was a great guy and I am going to miss him very much. I will never forget him falling asleep in his chair, taking us to the lexington battle re-enactment, and making omelets in the morning down the cape. He always seemed so happy and content with his life and I will never forget all the things he did for us. We will all miss him a lot.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you and whispered come to me a golden heart stop beating hard working hands at rest God broke all of our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best,my the lord bless the murphy & graham families..........

Edward was not just my grandfather he was also my friend. I remember one time down the cape I scratched up my father's car and didn't know what to do. My grandfather taught me how to fix the scratches (and the dent). My father never knew until a few days ago, when my family and I were talking about how great of a man my grandfather was. He will be missed.

Love and prayers go to Elaine and the Murphy family on the loss of one of the nicest persons the world has ever known.

The kindness, thoughtfulness and love he showed to our family will never be forgotten.

Leo will be forever remembered especially in our prayers.

God Bless the Murphy family.

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Leo. May he rest in peace. He was a very nice, kind man. God bless him.

Elaine and family, We are so very sorry to know about Ed's passing away. Kind man, great and helpful neighbor, always had a wonderful attitude towards life and always, always had a cheerful sweet smile. We will miss him dearly. Our condolences to whole family.

I am one of the 13 siblings of Leo's brother Dan. As a family, the Murphy clan has always had a great love and respect of our wonderful uncle. Shortly after I married, my husband and I purchase his parents little home in Quincy. We loved it there and kept that house in the family a little longer.
I think I was about 10 years old when I found out his real name was Edward and that we shared the same birthday...February 9th. I always felt a warm connection with Uncle Leo and his mother...

I am saddened by the loss of Uncle Leo Uncle. He was a dear Godfather to me. Kind, generous and warm and he looked so much like my dad, it was amazing. He was a great example of what a man should become. A caring and loving husband, father, relative, loyal friend and businessman. He will be a void in our lives and be dearly missed.
