To Michelle - Many neighbors in Chelsea Park are so sad and remember Scott playing with the children in the yard. We've always admired Scott for his easy-going personality. I remember how happy your wedding day was. You're one of the strongest women I've ever met and so good at making a plan. Your advice has always been good whether it is about family, getting to the gym or being organized. So I do have confidence that you will make Scott proud of you in all that lies ahead. Our prayers for you and your family are not just for now, but will continue into the future.

From skipping school and going fishing (Kids) to playing ball ( Little League, Babe Ruth, and Softball) to going to the Races together. Such great memories.

If nothing else Murph taught me the true meaning of FRIENDSHIP!!

Forever in my Heart

Scott was one of the first people I met when I started working at the County...4 years ago. He was so nice and outgoing. I remember, he was showing off pictures of his new babies at the office and he was so excited--such a proud daddy! Then he came over to my desk and showed them to me, too. I remember thinking how kind he was to share those pictures with me because I hardly knew him--or anyone, for that matter. But that's just how Scott was...he made friends everywhere he went. Definitely not a shy character! He will be forever remembered. Who could forget that smile from ear to ear?

Michelle, Stuart and Marie...please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Nancy,

There really are no words to be said except that I love you and will always be there for you and we will get through this together. Think about all of the great times you had with Scott and keep them in your heart forever. I remember when he hung out with Regis way back and then you got married. So, Regis is a great reminder of one of the wonderful things Scott brought to you. He will always look down on your from Heaven, please have faith in that and you can always talk to him when you need to. He will hear you. All of my thoughts and prayers are with you and Regis, your mom and the kids.

Love,

Tracy

I am so sorry about your Uncle Scott. I know how proud he must have been of all of you, as I am, in seeing what special and wonderful kids you are growing up to be. I know that I am not always around you, but you hold a very special place in my heart and I will always be there if you need me. Please have faith that Scott is going to watch over you from Heaven and he will be proud of you forever. You will always be able to find him in your heart.

Love,

Tracy

To RuthAnne, Nancy, Regis, Jeffrey, Cora, Gunner, I just want to thank you for such a heartfelt evening of friendship and memories of Scott. Joining you all and his friends at your house after the Memorial service was an honor and I appreciate so much being a part of it. The stories could have gone on forever remembering the fun and adventures of our younger days. Nancy, the two of you shared such a bond that nothing will ever take that away and you will have those memories forever. Ruth Anne, the pride you take in your children is so deserved. You have so much to be proud of. Again, thank you for letting me be a part of your celebration for Scott yesterday. Your friend, Cathy

To Michelle....I was so sad to hear about Scott. I met Scott though working at the county. We met when you all found out you were having twins because I have boy/girl twins also. We spoke all the time about the children, he showed pictures and even brought the children into my department to show them off. I felt like I already new you when we spent the weekend at convention this past october. He would even talk to me about what went on at convention only because he wanted to help you with the hosting of this past convention. He always seemed like he was enjoying life. Even when he decided to leave the county, he was talking about coming back one day, so the day we said good bye we didn't think it would be the last time.

The pain will never go away, but it will get better. Know that he will always be looking after you from above. And my family and I will have you and your children in our prayers.

Although I didn't know Scott well, I knew a lot about him because of my friendship with his sister, Nancy. To his sister and family, hold the treasured memories close to your heart. They will live within you forever. As you go through your lives you will be reminded of Scott in the simple things; a song, a phrase, a game. Those things will make you smile again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Murphy Family,

I met Scott when we hired him at SRC. I was his boss. I met Michelle and Stuart when they visited for a day. I remember how proud Scott was as Stuart and him drove off in one of our golf carts and Stuart took the wheel. He got a little nervous around the 1st turn. We loved to talk football on Monday mornings and loved the baked goods he would bring in as he bragged about Michelles cooking. He will be deeply missed by all of us at SRC. He was a great employee and more than that a great friend. Our hearts go out to the Murphy family. May your sorrow be lightened by the great memories you share.

Our hearts go out to the Murphy family, but most of all to Stuart & Marie. You obviously were the center of his universe; when he would tell us stories at work about you he would just beam...a very Proud Daddy indeed!

There was nothing that Scott couldn't do...even if things seemed unfamiliar he found a way to master them with the utmost perfection. For example...we at the County didn't realize that Scott was Bi-lingual, he came back for a visit at Christmas and he enlightened us with his new talent!

We will never forget you Scott, you were an amazing person! We shall forever cherish our memories of you and the stories you shared with us. Moreover, we will always feel blessed that you were a part of our "Road & Bridge" family.

I know you are up there smiling on us all!

Though I didn't know Scott and his family that well, I do remember some of those softball games,WOW. Great memories. Ruth Anne I remember from bowling at Shore Lanes. I was so very shocked to read the paper today and saw Scott's name. I want to express my deepest feelings to the Murphy Family, you are all in my prayers.

God Bless...

I agree with Gina Gorman. Scott was a bright spot for us at Road and Bridge in the County office. He knew so much about computer programs and often helped all of us when we had a computer challenge. I moved to Michigan right after the twins were born but do remember Scott and Michelle visiting us at the County one day. We went to their car to see the beautiful new babies. I will always remember Scott tenderly giving one of the babies a bottle. I am heartbroken about the news and my thoughts and prayers have been with the family ever since I heard about Scott's death.

Michelle & Billy Long

January 7, 2006

Road & Bridge hasn't been the same since you left and now it'll be forever changed. Billy will always miss his "County ally," too. And Jackson thought you were so silly, Mr. Scott. We'll all miss you in our own way and our continued prayers and support will always be with your family.

There's not a single person who played ball at stratley field that doesn't know or know "of" him. He touched so many lives. To watch him be sooo serious one minute in a game, then goofing around the next. He always took himself outta the game to coach so everyone that came could play. Arguing with "blue", then cooling Jimmy down the next second. Michelle Yelling at me,,,and well,, everyone of us,from the stands. Stealing bases and placing his hits anywhere he wanted. Those little swing/bunts,bumming dips when michele wasn't looking....Those days seem so long ago....but i can recall them like it was yesterday. To hear him talk about his kids and everything that went into getting them to where they are today. Hopefully Stuart will be a "mini-scott", and Marie will have michele's drive and attitude. This will be undoubtedly be the toughest thing this family will ever have to go through, but I know they can make it. Michele will see to that.

Their loss is unimaginable. Just take it a day at a time.

love, jd and dawn jones

p.s. hey Murph- You'll be missed.

Smiling through tears…that is what I find myself doing whenever I think about Scott. At given moments, memories of him eclipse my sadness and I find myself smiling, sometimes even laughing. Scott had a way of telling a story that drew you into it—he would get so tickled at times, thinking of the impending punch line that he would lose his place—you couldn’t help but laugh along with him. Scott, you were a bright spot for all of us at the County. We love you and we will miss you, but will always be grateful for your grace, humor and gentle disposition.
