Obituary for John Robert Murphy
John R.Murphy died surrounded by family at the age of 83 years.
John is survived by his wife, Sue; his children, Kathy (Karl), Johnny (Jenna) Tommy (Jenny) and Michael (Dawn). Daddy was Papa to 11 grandchildren, Ashley, Emily, Sarah, Anna, Johnny, Shawn, Jakob, Marissa, Ariel, Lauren and Owen and 4 Great grandchildren Alex, Catelyn, Oliver, and Leeland. Additionally Daddy is survived by his sister Barb, and brothers Pat (Linda) and Robert (Sonnie) and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
Daddy was proud to work as a Springfield City Fireman of 19 years and loved telling stories about fire and rescue. Daddy was an incredible family man and quite honestly the very best dad ever. Every one who met him loved him. He was witty, charming and so funny-the stories he could tell! And of course he was the most handsome man and best husband to our mom for 57 years. Daddy was a wonderful example of what a man, husband and father should be. His Catholic faith was very important to him and he lived it every single day of his beautiful life. The stories, the fun and the unconditional love will be missed so very much. Daddy was one of a kind.
John's Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00am Wednesday, November 22, 2023 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 1609 N. Summit in Springfield with Father Ray Smith officiating. Burial will follow at Resurrection Cemetery in Springfield.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home, 500 E. Walnut Street, Springfield, Missouri.
