Thomas H. Murphy, born on November 29, 1931, passed away on March 8, 2015 at the age of 83. He was raised in Middleton, MA the son of the late Martin and Ebba (Nelson) Murphy.
Thomas was a graduate of Holton High School in Danvers, MA and furthered his education at Lowell College and became an Electrical / Mechanical Engineer. He resided in Brownfield for many years before moving to Westbrook.
Mr. Murphy retired from Saunders Brothers in Westbrook. He also owned and operated T.H. Murphy Associates Inc. with his wife, Fran.
Tom had a unique ability of making people feel that they were the most important person in the room when in conversation. He could even get the quietest person in the room to engage with him. He was a loving, dedicated, supportive father to all of his children and hands on devoted “Grand pa” to his grandchildren. He had a special place in his heart for each grandchild and they knew their own special connection to him. Too many to name. He will surely be missed. He was known for story telling always leaving room for a good chuckle. Tom enjoyed painting / sketching as a hobby. He was always studying vast interests and was highly intelligent, creative and quick witted.
Tom is survived by his wife, best friend and soul mate of 33 years, Fran Murphy, loving daughters, Sharon and husband, Skip, Debra, Carie and husband, Bob, Christine and husband, Dan, and sons, Jonathan and Michael, 20 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, a close and dear sister, Patricia Pierce and several nieces and nephews.
Tom was predeceased by a daughter, Jody and by siblings, Nat, Fran and Dick.
