We knew him as Micheál Ó Murchú from Corcaigh. Micheál brought lots of fun and joy to the Irish Language classes in Kingston and Arnprior when he came that long journey with Richard and Rosella. He gave his all at the ceilis with his witty songs, music on the flute and tinwhistle and concertina, his funny stories and then he was on the floor for every dance.
Sincere condolences to the Murphy family on the passing of Micheál Ó Murchú from Corcaigh. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

I knew Michael through Irish language connections, and I was so sorry to learn that he is gone. He was a lovely man who always lightened up the room with his sense of humour and his songs. He is irreplaceable.

I am deeply saddened by the untimely death of Micheal. He enlivened so many of our Irish language weekends in Ottawa and Kingston with his energy and sense of humour. In the evenings he was always ready dance and to sing one of his witty ditties. Our little group of "Gaelgóirí" is diminished by his passing.

Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís (there will never be another like him.)

My sincere condolences to Mike's family. Mike was a wonderful singer, musician and an incredible story teller. Mike often ended his stories with that's the honest truth and a grin which caused an eruption of laughter from everyone. Behind all his wit, humour and teasing, I always sensed that Mike was a very intelligent, wise, caring person who had a gentle, giving heart and spirit. Mike will be missed but will never be forgotten.

My deepest condolences go out to the whole Murphy family especially Ronan, Fergal Donal and his wonderful grandchildren who he was so proud of. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Mike was bigger than life especially in his story telling..All the absolute truth according to Mike. He wasn't sure I could join the LIFC because he detected a bit of scottish in me. He brought us all great joy with his sharp wit, tall stories and his musical talent. I hope you have found a whistle and a concertina so that you and Fin can start some great ceilis up there. God be with you until we all meet again.

We were so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Mike lived life fully with enthusiasm, passion and joy; he was all in. Your words definitely paid homage to him. I often met Mike while he was out walking Pooka. He would regale me with stories of his family and all his life happenings; he was a great conversationalist. Mike and Finn provided childcare to our son Ethan many years ago which is when we first got to know them. Our deepest sympathies go out to Ronan, Fergal and Donal and to all of Mike's family.

Mícheál, mo dearthair agus mo chara dílis / Michael, my brother and my dear friend,

We will all miss you terribly. We will miss your company, your wit, humour and your humanity. Family gatherings wherever they may be held now will not be the same without you. We have seen once again, in the saddest of circumstances, the character and strength of your wonderful sons, Ronan, Fergal and Donal as well as the fantastic support Elle has been to you and to each of your boys. Your grandchildren Alistair, Nora and Emily were a source of the greatest joy to you and even though that time was limited we are grateful that you enjoyed it so much. You can be enormously proud of each of them and of how they cared for you and advocated on your behalf.

Siúl leis ha hAingil ar neamh anois / Walk with the Angels in Heaven now!

Tom.

Mike Murphy was a complete gentleman, a great husband & father, and always an absolute pleasure to spend time with. His boys will miss him but they had the best mentor in Mike and they can remind themselves of his character when needs be.
Mike was top class and the world is poorer with his passing.

My sincerest condolences to Mike's family. I will think of him when conditions allow the London Irish Folk Club can meet again. His cheerful presence will be missed by everyone. Who is going to give me a hard time when I sing a Scottish song at an Irish ceili?
