William J. "Bill" Murphy

To My Uncle Billy and Godfather,
Someone once said that a good man is hard to find, but I know that's not always true...
I have an Uncle who was a gentle and a caring person, and a good listener too. Who was there when you needed him, and who made you feel needed too.
I have a Uncle who can be proud of who he is. Who is loved and respected more than he realizes. My Uncle Billy was everything a good man ought to be, and the best part is-- He's my friend and Uncle too.
Love...

Bill got me in the elevator business 37 years ago, and I'm still here! The best man at my parent's wedding, and my father's life-long best friend, I grew up knowing Bill as an uncle, and always took delight when my Mom would recite the list of names in the Murphy family.

He was warm and friendly to...

Great memories from the early days. Dennis Tooher

There was no finer gentleman in this world. It was a pleasure to work with and to know him.

Mr. Murphy,

In Loving Memory of Uncle Billy

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in your time of grief. Remember all the great times because...

To all Friends & Family of Bill: We pray that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6
We miss you Bill and love you very much,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,...
