Paul Murphy, 82, passed away peacefully on October 13, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Paul spent his life uplifting those around him with his warmth, loyalty, and humor.
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Paul later made his home in Marshfield, where he built a life filled with love, laughter, and family.
Paul dedicated his entire career to the airline industry, a path that let him travel the world and meet countless people along the way. No matter where he went, he carried with him an easy smile, a caring heart, and a deep love for both people and animals.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia Murphy, his daughter Angelina Cleveland and her husband Todd, and his cherished grandchildren - Ryan and his wife Lauren, Rachael and her fiancé Michael, Jordan, Mackenzie, and Molly Cleveland - all of whom adored him beyond measure.
Paul was the heart of his family - their rock through every season of life. He was always there to lend a hand, share a laugh, or offer the kind of wisdom that only he could give. His presence made every gathering brighter and every burden lighter.
His life will be celebrated with love, laughter, and memories that will carry on forever in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him. Paul's legacy is one of kindness, strength, and unwavering devotion to family - a life well-lived and deeply loved.
