His work here is done. On January 25, 2016 Dr. John Joseph Murphy
(Seán Seosamh O Murchú) got an offer he could not refuse. He reunites
with his father, Donal Joseph Murphy, his mother, Mary Ellen Murphy, and
sister, Anne Prendergast, after a dignified and hard-fought battle with
cancer.Always the life of the party, or perhaps the "mind" of
the party, Dr. Murphy was known for his wry Irish humor, love of
learning, generous spirit, and devotion to his family.Murphy was
born in Cork City, Ireland on April 2, 1948. He was educated by the
Presentation Brothers at Scoil Chríost Rí and Coláiste Chríost Rí where
he excelled in both academics and athletics. He was captain of his
Gaelic football team and a national debate champion, which poised him to
be on the winning side of arguments over bedtimes, curfews and
politics.He earned a full scholarship to the National University
Ireland at Cork, where he graduated with a medical degree in 1975. He
did his internship and residency in emergency medicine at the North
Charitable Infirmary. With dreams of "eggs benedict and
Chaneueuf-du-Pape," he set off to make his fortune in America. Women
from Kerry to Donegal were said to have jumped from the tallest
buildings in Ireland upon receiving word of his departure.In
1977, Murphy was recruited to practice general medicine in the Texas
Panhandle town of Canadian. It was there he met his future wife, Karen
Brock, at an oil patch party. Murphy then moved to Houston, where he
practiced emergency medicine and later set up a general practice in
Cleveland, serving the community for more than 30 years. Always the
romantic, he asked Karen "to be buried with his people" at a varsity
football game where he was on the sidelines as the team physician. The
New Caney Eagles lost, but Murphy won and the two married on December 6,
1980. The couple eventually welcomed three daughters and raised them in
Kingwood and The Woodlands. He later returned to Canadian, where it all
began, ending his career on Main Street, in the same office that once
housed his father-in-law's oil and gas company.Murphy leaves
behind Karen Murphy, his wife of 35 years, daughters Megan Clifton of
San Francisco, Lauren Ferrara of Colorado Springs and Kathleen Murphy of
Houston, granddaughters Augusta Clifton and Elle Ferrara, sister Lilian
Gouttebessis of Bandol, France, as well as loving in-laws, nieces,
nephews, and a host of long-time friends.Family and friends
celebrated his life on Monday, February 1, 2016 at Saint Anne Catholic
Church in Houston, Texas. A reception honoring his colorful life was
held at a nearby favorite pub with lots of Irish music, dancing, and
toasts.In lieu of flowers, read a poem, learn a new word, strike
up a conversation with a stranger, give to a charity you cherish.
Murphy would like that. 4951

@Fallon  @OldGuyMany Thanks for sharing, my friends...  Dr. Murphy sounds like a most righteous Spirit - my kind of dude, and even though I did not know this man, I wholeheartedly appreciate his love of Life .....P.S. - May Dr. Murphy's beautiful life, and passing over the Rainbow, be an example for us all to truly "Live Life" and not simply exist....
