Susan and Family,
I don't know if you've seen these two pictures but I thought I'd share. The first was taken in 1959 when JT and I played baseball for the Dukes, a Kiwanis league team. JT is top row, second from the right, and I'm bottom row, third from the left. JT won MVP of the team (should've been for the league) that year. The second picture was taken in 2014 when JT visited Wahington, DC and I think had to visit N. Carolina and stopped by for a brief visit. My wife, Linda took the picture. JT was the one guy in our group who I thought would live forever, or at least outlive all of us. I was shocked to hear of his death and am deeply saddened. My sympathies and condolences to you, Susan, and your family. May he rest in peace.
Love,
Jack Clements

My deepest sympathy & condolences to the entire Murphy Family. I was lucky enough to be a part of your other family, AMBC and get to know you. You and our AMBC family were there when I got engaged on one of our many amazing company trips.....you took a chance on a young girl to be a loan opener for your company and because of that I am where I am today because of you so thank you!!! RIP Mr. Murphy

Dear ; Susan Junior,Brian and Liz,
I am so deeply saddened for your loss of a great man, I loved your dad as mine as well, and never will forget him. I was adopted by the Murphy family in 1992 (AMBC) and had such fond memories to last a lifetime . JT is probably the only person I know that still has a home phone number that I could recall 28 years later. He was such a stickler and would always strive to make me push harder and always do my utmost! Especially when it came to those FHA loans, need a handrail have paint scraped and repainted. I don’t know how I ended up with his new Cadillac only working there 6 months or so and I had to pick up the Boss first thing in the morning,probably first time in my life I was on time! When I found King ct I-was expecting a Mansion, when I rang the bell and JT got in his own car I told him his own home was non FHA’able I’ll never forget the look on his face!! Loved the trips to Fire Island and St Thomas And the way he made us all one big family God Bless you!

Dear Susan, John, Brian and Liz,
I want to express our sincere condolences for your loss. J.T. was a wonderful person. It was an absolute pleasure to know him. He was funny, witty and infused a great energy into every occasion we attended with him. But more importantly, his kind nature, strong character and admirable committment to those he loved, made everything better and somehow made us feel protected and safe just being in his prescence.

Dear Susan, John, Brian and Liz,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of JT. I have so many great memories of him and our times at Schroon Lake. It seems like just yesterday that we were all there having some the best vacations ever. I can remember everyone always complaining atbout JT playing scrabble and he was unbeatable! Later on I found out just how unbeatable he was! It was so annoying playing Words with Friends with him...just when I thought I got him, he would pull out a word that I never heard that would destroy my game! I am going to miss all his messages that he would send me about the Red Sox and how wonderful the Yankees were! He was always such a great presence at any party and you could always tell how much he enjoyed life, and how much he loved his family!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Sending all my love - Kristen

To the Greatest Dad,
I wished today would never come. I thought that I would have many more years and moments with you but suddenly it was gone. I want to say so many more things to you that I didn’t get a chance to say. All I can do now is think about the great memories we had together. There are too many to describe so I just want to point out a few that come to mind.
The annual trips to Schroon Lake were the most exciting time of the year for me. Every July 4th week we packed into the Grand Torino at 4am and made the 5-hour trip up there. Well, probably 4 hour with the way you were getting us there. Why 4am? To beat the traffic? It was a Saturday so no reason to worry about that. No, I think he just always loved the morning, wanted to make sure he was the first of five families to get there, was most awake and he couldn’t wait to go too. I loved it as well and enjoyed the drive in our packed car so that we can go up to the cabin that had no running water, no bathroom and I could sleep on a mattress on the floor. Oh, man was that great. A week in the mountains on the lake with my friends and family. By far the best week of the year and some of the best weeks of my life.
Our trip across country was the greatest in the summer of 1984 culminating with the Olympics in Los Angeles. What boy wouldn’t want to spend 8 weeks in an RV driving 7 hours a day while playing board games, cards and talking with his family. Then getting to camp grounds and running free with John playing tennis and video games. I stepped on Liz once and just missed throwing up on her but that was just one little speed bump. We saw the whole country in this trip and Daddy was just getting started in his business but he took the whole summer off to be with his family and spend time with us. That is the most precious gift he could give. Time to spend with his family.
Then as I got older I think about the times he would go to St. Thomas. First he went there with Mommy to get away and relax. He also had a great friend there, Jimmy that he enjoyed seeing. Then a few years later a whole bunch of people shared this great vacation with him. He involved people from work to share in this experience. I say work but it was his second family. He loved work and the people that he worked with. I feel that he just loved to enjoy life and bring happiness to others. It wasn’t the bottom line with him but the shared experiences that made him a great man.
I played sports growing up but the sport I loved the most was soccer. I don’t think it is a coincidence that I loved soccer because he was my soccer coach. Every year he would give the team the speech “Now when I am yelling, it is not at you it is to you just so that you can hear me”. Tell that to the refs for the games he got kicked out and had to watch from the parking lot. He wanted to win badly and often did but more importantly he loved coaching me. I think about it now, we had practice twice a week at 4pm. So, he took off early from work and coached as that was important to him to spend time with me. He succeeded at that so he was chosen by the club to take all-star teams to tournaments. Man, he always did well at things. He won games and he won over people with his drive and determination and his willingness to want to do things together.
Later after I didn’t enjoy soccer anymore in high school he encouraged me to try out for golf. I had about 5 rounds of golf in me from playing once a year at Schroon Lake golf club (9 holes) at that point in my life, but I tried out in 10th grade and made the team! I couldn’t believe it. I enjoyed playing golf and still do to this day. Thank you, Dad, for making that something in life I can appreciate.
What I appreciate is what you have done for my life. You were a constant presence in my life that I felt. It gave me confidence that someone had my back. You had a great relationship with Mommy, and that, is a testament to how great of a man you are. You made her very happy and you were the most important person in the world to her. John, Liz and I are so grateful for the great person and Dad you were to us. You are such a great grandpa to JT, Aidan, Ryann, Emma, Kevin and William. You go to all their soccer, basketball and volleyball games. You always go to Aidan and Emma’s concerts and you always pitched in when we needed help. You were just getting to know Tricia but you enjoyed her personality and her love for life. We added Christine and Andrew to the family and we couldn’t be blessed with better people to join our lives. Your life was a huge success. Dad I love you so much and I miss you. You were my hero. Your son Brian.

My sincere condolences and heartfelt thoughts and prayers for the Murphy family at this time. Mr. Murphy was a very smart and well respected businessman, caring, with a good sense of humor. Many great memories of Mr. Murphy and the AMBC Family, from the competitive weight loss contests, to the Halloween parades and the awesome company outings. Always appreciated Mr. Murphy’s open door policy and also allowing me to bring my daughter to work when the daycare was closed. RIP Mr. Murphy.

Dear Susan , John, Brian, and Elizabeth,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of JT. The memories of him as well as our times in Schroon Lake bring many smiles to my face. Some of the most favorite times of my life. From my birth all the way through my college years, going to Schroon lake in July was always something I looked forward to. It was tough being a Mets fan those days, with the exception of the ‘86 season of course. Uncle Marty would always have my back, but of course we really didn’t have much ammo. JT would always be sure to remind me of how many more titles the Yankees had, and of how far superior they we’re compared to the Mets. You would think he would go easy on a young kid, and not rub it in too much. Nope! That was not his style- and I loved that about him. Speaking of not going easy on a youngster- there was pinochle. I can’t say enough about how I love playing pinochle with the “big boys”. I felt so special being able to play with my dad and his friends. My mom, Maria, would play occasionally with us, but she would always warn- these guys are ruthless- they play cut throat- especially JT!! I loved every minute of it....
Ivy and I’s thoughts and prayers are with y’all and we are sending all of our love....
Bobby and Ivy

Dear Susan and Family,
We are so heart broken over your loss. We still cannot get over the shock. Can't even imagine a world without JT in it, It's now a much smaller place without him. He was such a great husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend (always the center of attention). He certainly had a way of getting people going, especially if you weren't a Yankee fan. I've known him from our earliest days at OLPH grammar school. We were altar boys together and I was there when he set the rug in front of the altar on fire. He was the captain of the Patrol Boys, and was there to protect us from all the 'publics" that would come to the school for their religious training on Wednesdays. We had some great wrestling matches on the lawn in front of the church, until Sister Denise got wise to our activities, and replaced us all, simply by standing there herself (she had such a commanding presence, nobody dared get in her way). He was always organizing slap ball and stick ball games on 107th Ave, and touch football in the fall/winter. As we got older, he was always on a mission. Whenever he got into his car, more often than not, he would say "we gotta make time". Always looking to break the land speed record for getting to Schroon Lake, faster than anybody else. He truly enjoyed life and lived it to his fullest.
We all know that JT was an avid player of "Words With Friends". I don't know how many people he played with, but I know that he and I had five games going continuously (every day). The typical outcome of each game, would be victory by JT. However, there was this one time when we were playing Scrabble on the stoop in front of his house on 115th St... when I got the better of him. Here's an exerpt of something that he wrote to me when he was vacationing in New Jersey.
"Bob, in one of our Scrabble games when we were about 11 or 12, you put the word "fez" down at the end of the game, which would have put you in front of me and you would win. I protested. the dictionary said Fez was a Turkish hat. I said it was a foreign word and couldn't be used. Well I, for the only time in my life was wrong. I am putting that game down in the win column for you. Wow 55 years later and that still bothers me. The final score of our games that summer is therefore 99 wins for JT, 1 for Bob. I am laughing so hard at this that tears are coming to my eyes."
Right now I have tears in my eyes, remembering this great man. I loved him like a brother and will sorely miss him. May he rest in peace. Love Bob

We had the pleasure of spending last Christmas Eve with JT and Susan at Tricia and Brians house. JT was a little reluctant at first to eat linguine and clan sauce but after eating it he remarked, hmm, this is good. Now I see why you Italians make a big thing out of Christmas Eve.
We were looking forward to spending many more Christmas Eve’s together. We will miss you.. Rest in peace.

Firstly my deepest sympathies for the whole Murphy family. Mr. Murphy was my favorite boss, would never have told him that at the time but he was. He was generous and truly cared about all of his Alliance employees. He made me laugh when he used to put his business card in anyone's flowers that got delivered. Of course we knew they were from him ;-) Some of my greatest work memories are from Alliance and I am saddened by this awful news. Say Hello to the Alliance crew that have already gone home :-( Good bye Murph
