We all miss Pat very much. His passing left a large hole in our hearts. Pat was such an accomplished craftsman, leaving a trail of wonderful works in his wake. It´s easy spot his legacy for excellence and originality simply by driving by Fairview and Brun and observing the clever transformation Lauren has made to the shop. I feel certain he is holding court and entertaining all those with whom he meets in the afterlife. Via con Dios, Patrick

Hard to believe that its been 10yrs since Murphy left us. If you get a chance, go and check out all the beautiful work Lauren has done to the shop on Brun....Pat would definitely approve, and be very proud of her. All my love to Miriam, Lauren, and Daniel. Mark Stamey

Dearest Lauren, Miriam, and Dan,
I only just learned of Pat's passing, and I am devastated for your and our loss. I've rarely laughed as hard as when I spent summer mornings working with Pat and listening to his take on Amy Goodman's 'Democracy Now' while we worked. Please let me know if I can be helpful or just be a quiet friend to you during this sad time. My heart is with you,
Vansa

Pat and I were teammates on the Oilers and the Braves in little league a long time ago. For the past many years, Pat was one of my best friends. He was a loyal and true friend. I loved him like a brother. He was genuine and not pretentious. Lauren, Daniel and Miriam; Pat loved his family. I will miss him like a brother. When words fail..."I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help."

Having spoke with Pat for the first time in 40+ years the other day, I'm saddened and want to offer my condolences. I have vivid memories of us as boys at St. Annes many years ago and looked forward to visiting to laugh at our mutual memories. Wishing you Peace and Comfort.

Dear Lauren, Daniel, and Mariam,
As you know Pat was the brother I never had and my dear friend for many years. We shared good times and bad, and I cannot tell you how much I already miss his wit and wisdom. I will never forget the great times we shared in Houston and on our beloved Hill Country properties. Patrick was a good and kind-hearted man, may you hold dearly to good memories as he was truly one of a kind! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
