THOMAS P. MURPHY

Each year that passes by we remember you fondly dear Tom. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

We cannot believe that it has been 5 years since our dear Tom left us . Tom will always be in our hearts may his Soul rest in ever eternal peace.

Tom was a North Star of a man. You could steer by him.

I just wanted to tell you how truly sorry I was to learn of Tom's passing. So many of my memories of growing up include the Murphy's, and as I think back, I smile as I think of your dad, husband, father-in-law, friend and more. There were always many lessons to learn, and I remember when he would hold family meetings. I think that is one of my strongest and most clear memories, was just how important his family always was to him. Everything he did was for his family, whether to teach a lesson, to provide and encourage as a role model, to want the best for each and every one of you. Please know that I keep you all in my heart and prayers. May God bring all of you peace.

I a so very sorry for your loss, always remember the good times. Love Katie & Dave Johnson

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Tom was truly a legend in the DC real estate community. Many of us learned so much from him, and it was always a pleasure to work with him on a transaction. He was truly a gentleman and we will all sorely miss his wit and his knowledge. My sincere condolences to his family.

Marcella, Mike, Kevin, Tom Jr, Dolores, and Danny:

This is a day we all hope will never come; it's hard to find words that might offer a measure of comfort and support in grieving your loss, and the bright and shining presence we all have lost in our lives. I used to call him “coach”; it was a term of endearment. And I will remember him as an Air Force officer who served his country faithfully and well, as a scholar and a prodigious writer who thought deeply and wrote with insight and conviction about the social needs of his time, as a life-long public servant who skillfully and ably influenced the evolution of the executive service of the federal government and changed it for the better, as a self-made and successful businessman proud of his ability to help people, which was the defining virtue of his life in so many ways. Devoted husband and father, proud grandparent, a teacher who always made time for some needed advice and help to his students, some long after they had taken their degree, a mentor, a friend to many, a man for others. His life mattered, and he used it in the best possible way -- to make better the lives of those who came his way. May the light of heaven shine upon him, and all who loved him.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My ddepest condolences.

Dear TJ, I'm profoundly sorry to hear about your loss and offer heart felt condolences to you and your family. Tom Bollinger

A brilliant, profoundly decent man who was unfailingly gracious to me whenever we met. With love and admiration, and condolences to his wonderful family.

Deepest condolences

I'm truly sorry to hear this, I just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and your family....

Dear Marcella, I am so very sorry . I know for a fact that memories do help and I feel certain you have many wonderful things to recall. Carol Sumser

It was pure coincidence that crossed our path with Tom's. What a journey.
We will miss your jokes, your witty comments and your pure big heart.
Rest in Peace dear Friend.

We have lost a legend! Tom will live on in the standards he set, the kindness he showed and his multi generational successes. He will be missed.

I'll always remember Tom as being kind, knowledgeable and ready to help make a transaction work. We'll miss you in the industry.

To The Murphy Family,
From the Via family to the Murphy family.We send our thoughts, prayers,and condolences. I had so much fun playing ball with Tom and the 'boys'.Great times.Great memories.Great man.

Tom was truly a gentleman and a warm and friendly person with a genuine smile. He was a professional agent and I enjoyed working with him in the Silver Spring office. I will always remember him as the King of Foggy Bottom. We'll miss him greatly.

To TJ and Family - One of the best agents I ever had the privledge to work with in this crazy business of real estate. Tom Murphy was just an Outstanding Person and UNFORGETABLE !!! Sad for the loss to your family and to us in the professional real estate community.

Tom had the listing on the first house I sold, and I found him to be a great person to work with and know. He was always a gentle soul with a bit of the Irish in him.

Dearest Murphy Family,
Tom was one of my Agents in Silver Spring years ago. What a joy to come into the office and be greeted by his lovely grin and twinkling eyes. Tom was not only a wonderful Agent he was a true and loyal friend. I know he will be so missed by all his loving family and his many, many friends.
Roseann Taff and Family

My sympathies to all of his family, friends and colleagues, which I am lucky to be among. As a former long-time Foggy Bottom resident (along with my mother, Betty Olsen), real estate client and friend, I always enjoyed his warm demeanor, insightful observations, kind manner, infectious chuckle and boundless enthusiasm for making the sale :)

Kevin, Angela and Family, So sad to hear
of your dad's death. My thoughts and
prayers are with you

For Mike and his family, everyone at Roylance sends their condolences.

So many wonderful memories working with Tom in real estate and living down the street from him many many years ago.

I am so sad and so shocked at Toms sudden passing. He was a very dear friend and will be sorely missed.
Barbara Leventer

Kevin and Dan, Our thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Andy McAleer and family

I will miss Tom's cheerful demeanor and the twinkle in his eye whenever we crossed paths at The Wisconsin, where we were neighbors.
My condolences to the family on the passing of a good man.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Foggy Bottom will never be the same. Tom, you were a class act, always so kind and considerate and easy to work with. We will miss you. RIP!

Tom Murphy was a gentleman and a scholar and a loyal friend and colleague -- truly one of a kind. He will be sorely missed. Jane Moretz Edmisten
