Mr Murphy, our beloved neighbour who I would love having a chat and a tease with over the fence. Such a kind, generous, cheeky, fun, knowledgable, gentleman with that beautiful sparkle in your eyes and a wonderful sense of humour and laughter. Many thanks for all the wonderful memories. Thank you Mrs Murphy and family for sharing this wonderful man. Mr Murphy - you may be gone from this world but you live on in the memories of evryone who has been fortunate to know you. Rest in peace.
