We are very sorry to learn of Tom's death. He was a great friend and a wonderful guy. Tom and Bob worked very closely for years on the Finance Committee at Pocasset Golf Club. We also had the pleasure of dinning with Tom and Marilyn on many occasions. The four of us worked hard every year putting on the Irish Open at the club. We have many similar memories that we will cherish forever. We have no doubt that Tom and Marilyn are together once again in a happy place.
Our deepest sympathy to the Murphy family.
