Read MoreMr. Murphy was a great man. He was so funny and loved life and his friends and family, especially his wife. He was very generous and thoughtful. He will be greatly missed by everyone but I am sure his is in a greater place now. His family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr Murphy was a good man,,, I am one of the strays he and his wife fostered 37 years ago. He drove trucks with my dad and he and his wife opened their home for me when I was a juvenille delinquent. I remember his laugh and his smile. My heart goes out to his family. I remember all of them fondly.

What a every loving and sweet man.I will always remember the smile, caring, heart full of love and mostly the "coveralls". Snooks will be surely missed. I know he is in a better place and looking down on us.

The world lost a wonderful, rare jewel of a man. His heart was pure and his ability to make people laugh was precious. Our grief is for us because we will no longer have the pleasure of his presence here on earth but we know he is in a better place.
