Michael Thomas Murphy

Almost 46 years ago, Mike Murphy became the very first boss to supervise me during my career at South Central Bell. Mike was a true joy to work for. After many years in the world of telecom PR, I can honestly say Mike was one of the funniest, most talented and creative PR/advertising professionals I ever worked for and with. So its incredibly sad to hear of his passing. Debbie and I who are now retired in the Atlanta area offer sincerest sympathy to Susan and to Mikes family. You all are...

I worked with Mike for many years at Luckie. He was a great supervisor and motivator. And I have to say...as much as Mike was indeed a storyteller, I never heard that story about how he and Susan first met...that's priceless!

I was lucky to marry into Uncle Mike's family 10 years ago. Every time we saw each other, whether at his home for a big family gathering or on a regular Sunday morning in the balcony at IPC, he always greeted me with the most genuine smile. He made me feel so welcome and that he was very glad to see me. Always quick with a kind word or funny story, I am so glad that I was able to know him and will miss him.

And on top of all of his other talents, he was quite a story teller. Loved to listen to Mike's stories. And what fun it was to play golf with him. No pressure, just delightful fun. Miss him and celebrate him.
