James Nolan Murphy III

Dr Murphy was the pediatrician to all 4 of my kids many years ago. (they are 17,18,24 & 27 yrs old now) and to this day we still talk about how much we all loved him! He would let all the kids go to his office and pick out a special prize from his stash of trinkets he kept in his desk drawer and always wrote a hand written note on our blood work result cards telling us how much he enjoyed my family. I was just searching for him today because my oldest daughter had a baby and came across that...

Jay was always one of my favorite cousins. He had a moral awareness and a kind heart. I am sorry that I did not stay in touch. I only heard about this from Dudley Hodgkins III, Love to all . Sherrie

I was blessed to have Dr Murphy as my pediatrician from birth until I finally had to switch to a “grown up” doctor. My biggest blessing was that he was my children’s pediatrician from birth as well.

There has been no doctor on earth to come close to Dr. Murphy’s compassion, grace and expertise. He was generous with his time and knowledge. He explained things in laymen’s terms and often got his dry-erase marker out to illustrate the issue as well.

Like so many...

Dr James Nolan Murphy III was one of the kindest, caring and devoted physicians I have ever had the privilege to know and work with over many years. He was one of motivative factors inspiring me to volunteer at Camp Sweeney as a younger doctor. Later when I became a pediatric endocrinologist at Cook Children's Medical Center, he sent many of his diabetic patients to me for specialty care. He was a fine physician who deeply cared about his patients as a whole person, and as a type 1 diabetic...

Such A great pediatrician. Always so kind and caring and helpful with great advice on any problem. Three of my grandkids went to him, two from birth till he retired. Rest In Peace Dr. Murphy you will be missed. Thank you for taking such good care of so many lucky children.

Dr Murphy was a wonderful doctor, loved and respected by our family. When our son was diagnosed with diabetes, Dr Murphy was such a help to us. He and Ben always shared a special connection, because Dr Murphy truly understood what Ben was dealing with day to day. We will always be thankful to him. Prayers of comfort for all hIs family.

Sending deepest sympathies and love to Ann and the entire Murphy family. We grieve Jay's passing but will hold dearly in our hearts his kind smile and so many fond memories over the years. It was an honor and a blessing to know Jay and he will be sorely missed.

I could always look out on the dance floor from my bandstand and spot the biggest smile in the crowd: Jay Murphy. And I am sure it was because he had the lovely Ann on his arm.

I am so sorry to read of his passing. He will be greatly missed.
