Also loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father Daniel Francis Murphy. After graduating from Boston College, Dan had a very successful career in sales, retiring from his position of VP of Sales from Teradyne Connection Systems where he was known for his steadfast dedication, strong relationships and many contributions. He left behind a legacy that will be remembered and respected by his colleagues. Dan will also be remembered for his many passions including golf, especially the 19th hole, coaching hockey and attending countless games to watch his sons played, travelling the globe and his insatiable appetite for reading, but mostly, he will be remembered for making a long story even longer. He will be missed by all who knew him for his wisdom, wit and for living life to the absolute fullest.
