As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings happy death.
~Leonardo da Vinci~
I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.

I will always remember him at all the Optamist functions. I would always have him save a dance for me. I will always remember his smiling face. He was so much fun and he definateally a Fred Astair. He truely was a great Optmist and loved being at their functions. He will be missed by all that knew him but, not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Thank you Tom for all those wonerful dances across the floor. Your truely a gentleman I will always remember.

As President of Uptown Optimist Club, it was my fortune to know Mr. Murphy. His wisdom and perseverance were an inspiration to our club members and the youth of our community. Tom founded support of many projects for kids, such as Union-Tribune's Shoe Fund for children. There is no way to replace this mountain of a man. Paul Jackson, San Diego, CA
