William “Bill” John Murphy
1953-2021
Unexpectedly, at the cottage
in Coe Hill, on Friday, April 2, 2021, Bill passed away in his 68th
year. Beloved son of the late Betty (2015) & Gerald
(1997) Murphy and brother of Gary (Jill), Gerald (Gloria), Mike
(Connie), Charlene Bell (Tom) & Paul (Christine).
Dear uncle to many nieces, nephews, great-nieces &
great-nephews. Pre-deceased by Uncle Bill and Aunt Norine Murphy.
Lovingly remembered by Aunt Doreen and Uncle Pete Schussler along with
many, many crazy cousins. Bill will be missed by special
friend Don, along with Don’s cats Ziggy and Cinder and many
other longtime friends and co-workers.
Bill had a long history in
the restaurant industry with McDonalds, Pizza Hut and
Arby’s. His passion for the Montreal Canadiens often times
caused some friendly bantering with friends and family.
Bill was the third of six
children and was the quiet one in the family but had a great dry sense
of humour. He loved being at all the family functions – the pool
party, the Murphy Picnic along with Christmas and family birthdays. He
was much loved by all of us and will be so, so missed
In light of Covid
restrictions, we encourage you all to take a moment and remember Bill
in your own special way… whether you raise a glass, recollect one of
his classic one liners, share a fishing story, debate a trivia
question, enjoy a hockey or a ball game, reminisce about that
‘lunch rush’, research the family tree, or connect
with the great outdoors and share his love of fishing, hiking and
canoeing. No matter your connection to Bill, know that we are all
together in mourning the loss of a really great guy who had this habit
of just showing up for a visit – often with a special
something that he had found that he just knew would interest
you.
Cremation has taken place and
a private family graveside service will be held at St. Peter’s
Cemetery, London. Donations to the Alzheimer
Society or the Heart
& Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the
family. Online condolences can be expressed at www.loganfh.ca .
Logan Funeral Home, 371 Dundas St., London, 519-433-6181, entrusted
with arrangements.
A tree will be planted, by the staff of the Logan Funeral Home,
as a living memorial to Bill Murphy
