Mike, Julie, Portia & Cade...as well as all the many other Murphy members... So sorry for your loss. I know you will have many great memories of him staying in your heart. He was a great 'in' at The Kingdome...and I will always remember him for that and the before/after parties.

Glad I was able to visit Patrick in Lynnwood a few times. The last time we visited he was so at peace with himself and his health. Hope he and Hugo and many others are having a good time.

Past Grand President Pat Murphy joins his long-time friend Past Grand President Don Daniels, I am sure, in heaven. I succeeded Pat in 1997-1998 as Grand President of the Footprinters and was able to learn from Pat how to be a grand president. He was a class gentleman who loved life and had some great Irish wit to him. We send our love and sympathy to his beloved wife Linda and the entire Murphy clan.
