Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time. Michael and I will fondly remember playing touch football with Tom and the other Fenimore Rd kids back in the 70s. Tom was such a fierce competitor, and what an arm!

Shawn and family I was sad to learn of Tom's passing. I have many happy summer memories at Dewey Beach spent with the Murphy boys. I also remember attending and watching Maryland basketball games with Tom. Tom was a true friend, always ready to help. I'll miss his friendship. My condolences to Shawn and the Murphy family during this difficult time.

Tom was a great person and supporter of St. Catherine's CYO and Rummage Sales. He is probably handling all the sports equipment in heaven. We will miss seeing him. Peace be with him.

Tom was the best equipment manager for the CYO. He was patient with the kids (and coaches) and would add humor to our CYO board meetings. I will miss seeing Tom at the 7:00 A.M. Mass.
