Obituary
On Friday, May 28, 2021, John Keith Murphy (“the Murph”) of Bloomfield passed away unexpectedly at Mountainside Hospital at the age of 66. John graduated from Bloomfield High School and William Paterson University. He led an adventurous life, and his jobs were varied (ranch hand, paralegal, courthouse night watchman, USPS among others). He was a born storyteller and artist, and his real loves were literature, music, and Ireland (his visit in 2017 was one of the highlights of his life). John was predeceased by his parents John Patrick and Helen Murphy and his beloved older brother Neil. He is survived by his siblings Colin Murphy, Joan Wynne, and Eileen Weber as well as many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Hi Joan and Eileen,I am just an old friend of Joan's from the past. I knew how much your brother meant to you Joan and I am so very sorry for your loss. I know we see loved ones passing as the years go on, but I hope you have some deep and happy memories to draw upon.We are so much more than who we are when we die, my sister passed away last year and she wasn't talking to me. Although the immediate situation was contentious, at her services - I spoke about how she was so much more than the person we saw in the recent past, that she was an amazing person who was there for me on many trying occasions and that I choose to focus on the beauty she added to my life.<br>Best Regards,Chris CarfaroRichmond, Vermontvermontcarfaro@gmail.com
