Heartfelt condolences from afar (Turkey at the moment) for Sue and the extended Murphy/Toland family. (You say) Larry (and I say) Laurie was a very special person for many reasons, but in particular for all his efforts to bring families and people closer together. He's up where he belongs with family and friends - and Ding (Dennis Donoghue, 1941-1980) was and is both. Have fun, guys.

Larry was a fine man who put forth great effort to maintain closeness in the family. He and others of the Murphy family were so considerate when our mother, Rita, passed away a few years ago. We will always remember him for his love and kindness.

We'll miss Uncle Larry! What a moving tribute to him yesterday. The Eulogies by the pastor and my cousin Neil were beautiful. It was an amazing event and reminded us all how special Larry was.
