JOHN A. MURPHY Jr.

God bless my cousin. My brothers name was John Ancona Carmalt. Family matters!

Dear Jean and sons, remembering you all today and reliving the happy memories we made in Key West. God Bless

Dear Jean, thinking of you and your boys today and always. God Bless....

Dear Murphy Family,
We are so sad to hear about John's passing. He was so young. I was shocked to hear he was so ill. Every couple of years, we drove from Chicago to visit our Murphy cousins and had a blast. What a great family and great memories! Poor John had to put up with six girls for a week. He was a trooper! You have a beautiful family; wonderful sons. Remember the good times and let John live in your hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Murphy Family,
I attended Holly Redemer elementary school with John. We grew up together as brothers and friends. John ans his entire family treated me like another son. he was a wonderful friend and an excellent person. I am very sorry for your loss.

John was the best boss. He's honest with you. He looks out for you. Yes, he can be short with you, but he'd feel bad and apologize afterwards.

It's been 12 years. I can still hear the Johnisms:

"I wouldn't ask you to do anything I won't do myself."

"The customer doesn't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."

"Thanks, Ken." [Emphatic]

I miss him. It's ridiculous that I hadn't called or written all these years.

Jean, Shane and Drew:

We are so sorry to hear of John's passing. We know how much he loved his family and we will remember him with great fondness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Murphy Family,
John's passing is such sad news. My deepest sympathies to all of you. John was my cousin. Our mothers were sisters. I have very fond memories of times spent with the Murphy family especially when we were children. Christmas 1964 is echted in my memory forever. We had many good times. John was often the only boy since my family had four girls. He was a trooper and hung out with us anyway. The time at the beach was always wonderful. John will be missed.
