Read MoreOur deepest sympathies go out to the Murphy Family. I have very fond memories of Mr. Murphy and his beloved wife Marjorie at Shaws Cove in Fairhaven with their entire family.
All of the children that grew up down at Shaws Cove were lucky to have such incredible role models as Mr. and Mrs. Murphy. They will always be remembered.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

My sincere condolences to the Murphy family.
I will forever treasure the fond memories I have of Jim Sr. at Shaw's Cove every summer I spent there as a teenager. My parents, the Murphys, Wakemans, and the Darwins always seemed to have a drink in hand, and laughter in their conversations - it was a fun time for all of us back in the days of the 70's. Jim Sr. was the last one left, and now he has joined them all once again.
Mary Jo, Jaimie and Mike, this is a hard time for you...
