George Thomas Murphy, Jr., 72, of Lansdale, PA., died April 17, 2021.
George was born on July 29, 1948 in Chestnut Hill Hospital, in Philadelphia to George Thomas Murphy, Sr. and Marie A. Murphy. He was pre-deceased by both his parents, his older sister Dolores Boyle, niece (god daughter) Denise Kasander, and his beloved beagle Maxwell.
George grew up in Conshohocken, Pa, where he attended St. Matthew’s Elementary and High Schools. He continued his education at LaSalle College, graduating in 1970 with a BS in Mathematics.
George worked as computer program analyst for various insurance companies over the years.
On August 21, 1971 George married the love of his life, Michelle K. Murphy at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Middletown, NJ. After they married they lived in Horsham, then Hatfield, and finally settled in Lansdale, PA.
George and Michelle have two children — Heather (Dean, boyfriend) and Kevin (Lindsey, wife) and three grandchildren — Eric (Laura, fiancé), Ellie, and Perry Murphy.
George was a family man, his wife, children and grandchildren meant the world to him. He was also a devout Catholic and a dedicated Philadelphia sports fan. He also enjoyed reading, sudoku, and crossword puzzles.
The thing most people will remember about George is his sense of humor. He was always quick with a joke or funny comment. He was a great story teller, especially if the story was comical. He had natural comedic timing and delivery and he loved to share that gift with everyone. He loved to laugh, he loved to make people laugh, and most of all he loved sharing a laugh with his wife, kids, grandkids, friends, and strangers alike.
He is survived by his wife Michelle, children, and grandchildren, three sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his long- time friend John (Moose) Maloney, and former work friends Steve Bayus and Bill and Libby Atkins.
His Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, April 29, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church in Lansdale, Pa. Viewing will precede the Mass, beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Interment will follow at St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Norristown, Pa.
Enjoyed working with George and the friendship we shared. He was honest, kind and caring. His love and care for Michelle and children was his top priority.
God Bless you and your family
May you Rest In Peace.
