MICHAEL MURPHY Obituary

MURPHY, Michael J. Of Scituate, passed away on March 1, 2022, after a courageous battle with heart disease. Michael was the beloved husband of the late Linda (Lamb) Murphy. He was predeceased by his sisters, Catherine LeFave of Medford and Patricia Murphy, also of Medford. He was the brother-in-law of the late Henry J. Lamb of Quincy. He is survived by his children, Michelle and Shaun Kelly, Jr., and Sean and Wendy Murphy. He was a devoted "G-Daddy" to Garrett and Millie Murphy, and Mackenzie Kelly. He is also survived by his brother-in-law, Joseph LeFave; and his nieces Suzanne Sardina and Michelle Williams.

Michael was a true and caring friend to many. He spent his retirement from sales enjoying walks with his dog, Maggie, and trips to Naples, FL. His happiest times were spent with his family and friends recounting stories of the ?good ole days.'
