Thomas D. Murphy

To the family of Mr. Thomas D. Murphy, I want to express my deepest sympathy. I had the great pleasure of meeting Tom years ago at the Commission On Aging, he was the sweetest man, he always made me smile, and always wore a smile on his face. There was never a time when I saw Tom without a smile on his face, and singing those beautiful tunes. I will always remember him for the rest of my life. The minute I walked in the Center to deliver the meals on wheels he would give me a great big hug....

It is with a sad heart I write this entry. Many fond memories of Tom working with degree teams as new men were ushered into the fraternity. Truly no one more deserves the title "A Man and a Mason". He truly lived the tenets of our fraternity.

My condolences to the family of Thomas D. Murphy.

Joyce and family my heart is so heavy with grief and happy with joy at the same time. The joy is that Tom is with our father and savior. What a wonderful moment. Also the joy is the moments I shared with him, if God ever granted me a second dad, Tom was like that. The beautiful voice that sang so strong behind me in chior, the joy of a sunny and faithful greeting that always went with the beautiful sight of seeing him. And the unconditional love he gave us. He will always be in my...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. We know where Tom is and he was and always is in Jesus' arms. We will miss him terribly, but we are not sad because God knows Tom, and he will never be alone.

Mrs. Murphy, David, Sharon, and families,

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers this week as you release your beloved husband and father to his heavenly home.

I will always remember Mr. Murphy as the big, strong, kind man, who drove me home from choir practice at MABC when I was a teenager. We usually sang together ALL the way home, with me singing the melody, and him coming in with his beautiful booming harmony! I remember a specific time when we were...

Joyce and family,

I can see Tom smiling down on all of us and saying Praise God. Tom was a very special man and he will be deeply missed.
May God give you comfort and a sense of peace during this difficult time.
