Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.

We will miss you Dan, but we will join you one day on the beach in Aruba
Karen, we are so saddened & shocked at the untimely passing of Dan. Our deepest & sincere condolences in this time of unbearable grief for you & your family. We will keep Dan & your family in our prayers.
May the Devil know him dead an hour after Saint Patrick has bought a few rounds. Requiesce in Pacem.
Karen and family,
Sis and I are truly saddened with the passing of Dan. His beautiful Irish heart is a treasure to have known.
I haven’t known a finer man than Dan Murphy. The times I had with Dan were valuable to me over the years and
will continue to be fond memories of a genuine friend.
